Intro to Glass Lampworking
with Mitchell McCormack
Hosted at Harbor City Arts – Melbourne, FL
$95 per person | 2-hour session | Wed June 11 2025
Curious about working with glass? Here’s your chance to give it a try in a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment.
Join master glass artist Mitchell McCormack, also known as The Glass Gardener, for a hands-on introduction to lampworking with borosilicate glass. This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for those who have never worked with a torch before and are excited to explore the world of molten glass.
During this two-hour session, you’ll:
Learn how to safely operate a bench torch
Handle and heat glass rods to a molten state
Use basic shaping techniques to create small glass forms
Gain confidence and foundational skills in the art of flame-worked glass
Each participant will have the opportunity to create one or more simple pieces, such as a glass marble or pendant—perfect keepsakes from your first foray into torchwork. While final results vary depending on comfort and pace, everyone will leave with new skills and a greater appreciation for this unique craft.
All tools, materials, and safety gear are included. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to try something new.
📌 Note: This introductory class is required for all students new to torchwork before enrolling in Mitchell’s intermediate and advanced courses.
Space is limited to just 2 students per session —register early to secure your spot.
Come melt some glass, and discover what you’re capable of creating!
