Registration is now open for Beginning/Intermediate Lampworking (two-day workshop) February 23-24. Open studio time is also available for those with prior lampworking experience. Please email temperchi@gmail.com for current seat availability. We will show you proper set-up and safety procedures in addition to beginning and intermediate techniques of shaping molten glass into works of art, a process which consists of welding and tempering glass using torches and kilns.
We provide all the tools, equipment and glass necessary; students need only bring work clothes (no polyester), perhaps a lunch (lunch breaks are encouraged, but some students prefer to work right through) and a willingness to learn. These classes are fun and informative.
