Each student will learn basic glass blowing skills in this accelerated summer bootcamp. This is a series of five classes, followed by daily studio clean up. Students will make one or more finished pieces in each class.

In this course, students will get to know glass as an artistic medium by making the fundamental shapes for creating basic blown forms: a ball, a cylinder, and a bowl. This Course will also focus on teamwork and assistantship, concluding with individual study on the final day.

DAY 1-Orientation to hot shop, tools, and safety followed by simple demonstrations.
Students make a frit paperweight.
DAY 2-Focus on basic shaping and learn to blow a round ball.
DAY 3-Learn additional shaping methods and blow a cylinder.
DAY 4-Learn to make a simple bowl.
Last day- Individual study. Students design and plan a piece of their choice.
