# Event Details - **Event Name**: Intro to Boro: Pendants and Wearable Art with Alex Utts - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 03 May, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 03 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Learn the fundamentals of borosilicate flameworking while creating your own wearable glass art.About this EventLearn the fundamentals of borosilicate flameworking while creating your own wearable glass art. In this standalone six-hour workshop, students will be introduced to torch safety, tools, heat control, and the essential techniques used to shape borosilicate glass at the bench.We’ll explore a range of pendant styles including simple drops, twists, color accents, frit implosions, small sculptural forms, and clean, well-balanced loops for wearing. Students will get hands-on practice with shaping, applying color, controlling heat, and understanding stress in the glass to create strong, durable work.This class is designed for beginners and anyone curious about making glass jewelry. Each student will leave with at least one kiln-annealed pendant of their own design and a solid foundation for further flameworkingWhat 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.

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." } ] } ] ```
