About this Event
Simple Goblets is a six week introductory course designed for students with some glassblowing experience. We will be reviewing basic goblet making techniques, as well as introducing optic mold enhancements. Optic cups and feet will be demonstrated as well as avolio and morise connections. Goblet making is the holy grail of glassblowing, and this course will take you out of your comfort zone while bringing your skills to the next level.
What to Expect: Students will work together and learn to manipulate molten glass (2000 degrees). Safety and tools will all be covered in a fun and exciting environment. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm. Glassblowing involves a variety of activities including sitting, standing, and working with hot glass. The environment can be very hot and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.
Eligibility: This is for advanced beginners, previous glassblowing skills required. Open to ages 14 and up.
Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment.
