# Event Details - **Event Name**: Intro to Boro: Sculpture with River Valadez - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 12 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: In this introductory class we will experiment with borosilicate glass by making small sculptures and functional objects.About this EventIn this introductory class we will experiment with borosilicate glass by making small sculptures and functional objects. Borosilicate glass, also called by the brand Pyrex, will be our strong and durable construction medium. We will learn to sculpt, fuse, cut, and bend the material. This course will be project driven, if you have an idea in mind please show up to class with a drawing!Drawing on the natural world will be our starting place: flora & figurines. From there we will delve into our own personal worlds of exploration.What to expect: Flameworking with borosilicate glass requires a little practice at heat control with the torch to create successful sculptures. After demonstrations, students will have time on the torch to hone their skills. 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. 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. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.Eligibility: Some experience recommended but open to all levels. 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! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class.

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." } ] } ] ```
