For all these projects, students will choose one to two colors and sit at the bench with the instructing glassblower. The student will assist in creating their project by applying color, blowing the piece, tweezing/twisting, and opening a cup or vessel. Students will remain seated during the activity and will be prompted by staff at participation points throughout the creation process which results in safety while creating a unique piece of glass art! Staff will assist in all facets from gathering to transporting to annealer kiln for cool down.
