Join Eric and Alicia as they teach you how to Torch blow German style glass ornaments in this fun. Private class with a minimum of four, and a maximum of 5 students. A small class gives you personal attention. Bring your family and friends for a fun afternoon or evening. Glaskolben is the German name for the clear glass cylinder used for blowing decorative ornaments. You will learn how to decorate these glaskolbens with a variety of frits and powders and stringers (thin rods of glass), and how to heat them properly in order to blow them into beautiful ornaments. Each student receives 10 glass tubes and an assortment of colorful glass frits, stringers, and other decorative bits to personalize your creation. It may take a little practice, but after a very short time you will be making some lovely one-of-a-kind handmade ornaments! They will be ready in a day or two to pick up and hang on the tree. No previous experience required! Note: You will have the opportunity to create your ornaments with advanced techniques if you have previously taken one of our Glaskolben classes!
