NEW! 540. Glass Sculpture without Mandrels
Class - Glass | Available
Learn to work with soft glass in 3-dimensions as you explore sculpting off mandrel in this fun class for students with previous 104COE glass beadmaking experience. Build 3-dimensional sculptures using glass at the punty. Mandrels will not be used during the course of the class. Use Moretti soft glass and explore techniques for sculpting small creations with style, and not being constrained to creating beads or on mandrel. Students should already have taken the Beginning Glass Beadmaking class and be comfortable working with glass in a torch flame. Most materials included; optional materials discussed in class. Previous soft glass experience required.

James began his glass career in 1999. After a few months of practice he took a class with Tom Holland and Sage in Fox, AR. After a few more months behind the torch he became a member of the LA crafts guild after being juried into the organization. In 2001 James was a studio assistant for Loren Stump at Penland School of Crafts. He fell in love with the mountains of Western NC so much that NC has been home since. His interests are varied: cooking, beer brewing, gardening, music and podcasts. One influences the other!
