About This Workshop
The ancient art of glass blowing is enjoying a resurgence of interest, thanks in part to the Netflix series “Blown Away”. This class it the perfect introduction to the once secretive art form. During this five-day class, students will dive into 2175-degree molten glass (figuratively, of course). Glassblowing is a challenging, high-intensity, high-adrenaline art form, so if excitement is what you’re after, this is the class. Students will create colorful works of art, from paperweights to vases and many wonders in between. Dave and Bryan understand that most of their students will have no experience working with glass, so don’t be deterred; this class is designed with beginners in mind. The week is outlined so that each day builds upon what was learned the previous day. On day one, the Lees will focus on shop safety, the history of glass, and have students begin to work with the molten glass, creating solid paperweights. Day two will emphasize the blown form, during which students will create cups and small vessels. Days three to five are dedicated to blowing larger forms and getting creative with shape and color.
