Inspired by Nature Glass Icicle Ornaments
with Susan Matych-Hager
Friday November 13th * 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Make your own crystal clear, sparkling glass icicle ornaments inspired by nature!. These are beautiful when hung on your tree, catching and reflecting the lights in all directions. We will discuss basic safety techniques for the studio as well as work in the oxygen-fuel torch using borosilicate glass to practice making loops for the top of the ornament as well as make the ornament itself.
IMPORTANT: Students taking glass courses using a torch must wear natural fiber clothing (i.e., cotton shirt and denim jeans), closed-toe shoes, and hair tied back and out of the way. Loose clothing that will be in the way of the torch is strongly discouraged. Please wear clothing that is not essential to your wardrobe.

with Susan Matych-Hager
Sunday November 14th * 1:00pm to 4:00pm
This class presumes some torchwork glass experience prior to enrolling in the class. We will explore several methods of creating glass cane for drawing leaves, vines and flowers. If there is time, we will make a floral bead of your imagining to learn how to apply the cane once it has been created.

Blown Glass Ornaments Using Glaskolben
with Susan Matych-Hager
Sunday November 15th * 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Try your hand at making blown-glass ornaments. Using an oxygen-propane torch, students will learn basic techniques for using pre-blown glaskolben to make blown-glass ornaments. Frit will be used to add color to the clear glaskolben. Learning how to control heat, gravity and blowing techniques will determine your success.
Creating these colorful ornaments will provide students a basis for working glass further in the torch. Each student will be provided 6 glaskolben. When you pick up your ornaments, be sure to bring packing material and a small container to transport your ornaments to the safety of your home. Basic torch safety will be discussed.
