Students will learn the basics of hot glass making: gathering, blowing a bubble, sculpting, and basic 2-part mold blowing. Students will also begin to understand the expansive and multifaceted material properties of glass as we decode the material through experimental processes. We will work with the following materials and techniques: Hollow glassblowing Solid glass-sculpting2 part hydrocal blow molds Basic color applications Basic coldwork- finishing By the end of the class, each student will have a basic understanding of the material and also learn how to work with professional glass makers to execute a commissioned body of work. What to Expect: Students will work together and learn to manipulate molten glass (2000 degrees). Safety and tools will all be covered in a fun and exciting environment. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm.  Glassblowing involves a variety of activities including sitting, standing, and working with hot glass. The environment can be very hot and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation.Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.  To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.Eligibility: no experience required.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." } ] } ] ```
