Speed and Agility: Maximize Your Blow Slot with Alix DiFabbia-Kane

 In this class, students can expect to improve upon their existing glass making skills by focusing on how to move efficiently through the process. By condensing steps, delegating, and learning how to strategize within the context of a blow slot, students will be able to increase their production speed, thus allowing for a higher yield of work. This class will include exercises such as prototyping a product, coming up with a production method and implementing various techniques for an efficient execution. Students can expect a very hands-on and group-oriented class. 

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.

Eligibility: This is for intermediate level students, 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.
