In this beginner friendly class, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of borosilicate flameworking. Participants will learn how to safely use a torch, control heat, and shape molten glass while becoming familiar with the unique properties of borosilicate.The class focuses on building core skills such as heating, gathering, rotating, and shaping glass. Students will also explore simple decorative techniques like applying frit to add color and texture. By the end of the session, participants will create a small finished piece while gaining a foundation that can lead to future projects like pendants, marbles, and small sculptural forms.What to expect: Working with hot glass takes practice, but it’s tons of fun! After demonstrations by the instructor, expect to make 1–2 successful pieces during this class (along with a few experimental attempts as you learn the ropes). Don’t worry if not every attempt is perfect – learning to control heat and gravity is all part of the process, and even the wonky shapes will build your skills. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. While flameworking, participants primarily engage in seated activities such as working with glass rods and torches. The environment can be bright and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity.

Open to ages 14 and up.Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work. We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot!

The organization provides access to and an education in glass for professional artists, seniors, students, and members of the public of all backgrounds and familiarity with the material. We offer year-round free and low-cost programming through our 17,000 square foot studios, robust class schedule, fellowship and scholarship opportunities, exhibition center, and in-house printed magazine.Founded in 1977 by a group of dedicated artists, UrbanGlass sought to confront the many barriers limiting creative access to glass such as the high costs of real estate, equipment, and the scarcity of technical expertise. From the organization’s conception it served as it does today: As a creative hub and unparalleled resource center for artists, enabling this material to become available for experimentation beyond the confines of factories and universities in New York City for the first time. Today, glass is seen as an integral component of contemporary art’s complex landscape." } ] } ] ```
