Blown Glass Solid Work Workshop
Step into the world of glass art with our hands-on Blown Glass Solid Work Workshop. Guided by the talented artists from Firenation, you'll have the opportunity to create your own solid glass sculpture. This immersive experience is perfect for anyone looking to explore the captivating art of glassmaking.
What to Expect:
-
Expert Guidance: Work alongside skilled glass instructors who will handle the tricky parts, like adding the 2000-degree molten glass to the rod, ensuring your safety and success.
-
Personalized Creation: Choose your item's base color and any secondary colors to make your sculpture truly unique. The instructors will guide you through the process, helping you roll and form your piece using all the necessary tools.
-
Annealing Process: Once your sculpture is complete, it will be placed in an annealer. This essential step allows the glass to cool down slowly from 2000 degrees, preventing breakage and ensuring durability.
-
Pickup/Shipping: Your finished piece will be ready for pick-up the following morning at the registration booth. If you prefer, shipping is also available for an additional charge.
