Indianapolis Glass Blowing Class
Overview
Today’s glass blowing techniques echo those of the past, with skilled workers using methods of glass creation that have been passed down through the generations. At this hands-on glass blowing class, you will learn these same techniques to create your own unique piece of artwork.
Your left brain will be just as engaged as your right, because you’ll learn some pretty cool/nerdy stuff too. For example, did you know that glass is an amorphous solid? No, that’s not a contradiction in terms! It’s a solid, but has a molecular structure that’s random like a liquid. This amorphous molecular structure is what makes it transparent. (Pretty cool right?!)
Create a Stunning Piece of Glass Artwork At Our Women’s Only Glass Blowing Class
Each of our glass blowing classes will focus on a specific seasonal project (see details below), but the rest is up to you! After you learn the basics of glass blowing and studio safety, it’s time to fire up that creativity (literally). Select your glass colors and create your own beautiful design—with help from a 2100-degree furnace. Our favorite part? You get to say things like, “Stick it in the glory hole!” 😲🤣 The “glory hole” is the furnace you heat the glass in. (Where was your mind going, silly?) Other terms you may hear are:
- gaffers – experienced glassblowers who’s workshops are called
- hot shops – gaffer workshops
- crucibles – where silica is melted
- maver – where silica is shaped
Sounds like fun already, and we haven’t even started! Join us for some creative seasonal fun during this half-day glass blowing class in Indianapolis.
