The Squiggly Goblet
Curious about making goblets? This introductory class will take you through the basic steps, examining different approaches to the goblet-making process. The emphasis will be on finding the fun in goblets rather than developing a perfect technique, which takes more time than we have in class. We will cover the fundamentals to set you on the right path to making beautiful stemware with the minimum of stress, confusion or frustration. Each student will complete at least two small goblets, which are not required to be straight or even. Complete beginners welcome! Class#: HG-FR-63

Fun With Critters
There was a time when making glass animals was the way to make a living as a glassblower. Now making beads, jewelry and various types of functional glass are also options. But making animals is still a great way to learn techniques, as well as elements of design, self-organization and composition. This two-day class will use animal making as a vehicle to explore new ways to look at glass. You will learn tricks that can be added to your existing repertoire. All experience levels welcome; there will be something to learn for everyone, even experienced glass artists. Class#: HG-SA-63

On The Run With Marbles!
This four day class will be about constructing marbles tracks for whimsical and fun entertainment. Don’t let your marbles sit around being bored! After a bit of basic instruction in marble making, students will construct simple marble runs that can be taken home for further play. Techniques for tricky marble maneuvers will also be included. Time permitting, we will make a collaborative Rube Goldberg type track with more elaborate mechanisms.
