Creating these colorful ornaments will provide students a basis for working glass further in the torch. Each student will be provided 6 glaskolben.

Throughout the series we will work with representational, abstract and non-representational subject matter. Explorations will be in printmaking (including reduction printing), water-based media, traditional and non-traditional drawing materials and encaustics (pigmented bees wax)

Most supplies will be included but on the first night of class we will discuss other items that you can bring in for the following sessions. 

Please note the youth studio is located in a historic building with stairs.
