In this hands-on class, students will be introduced to the glass studio, its specialized equipment, and the essential tools of the trade. Learn the fundamentals of glassblowing while working on a beginner-friendly project: a solid glass paperweight. With step-by-step guidance from the instructor, each student will shape and create their own unique piece of glass art. This class focuses on "solid work," meaning no air is introduced into the glass, making it an ideal starting point for exploring this fascinating craft. Completed pieces will need time to cool and can be picked up the following weekend. Offered in partnership with Stained Glass Gifts LLC. Classes are located at the studio's location in Channahon, 22848 Winchester Drive.
