In this hands-on introductory course, students will explore a range of foundational techniques while creating a diverse collection of finished pieces. You’ll learn how to confidently shape solid glass, apply vibrant color, and execute core processes such as implosions, encasements, and twists.By the end, you’ll leave with a solid understanding of marble-making processes—and a set of unique, hand-crafted marbles that showcase your progress.Additional work time for intensive students: Students will also have access to additional hours in the flame shop, without instruction, on Wednesday - Saturday from 12-4pm. Students must be able to work safely in the studio, and be able to set up their area without needing instruction. Students participating in student hours will need to be approved by the instructor and TA’s.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: No experience needed,  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!

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." } ] } ] ```
