This class takes place entirely in the Hot Shop

Schedule:

• Introduce various tools, safety equipment and process for glass making
• Instructor led hands-on experience at various stages of the glass making process
• Richard to make one or two pieces, time permitting, from the pictures

Parents who wish to accompany their student are requested to purchase a separate museum admission for themselves. Once class is out you have the option taking your student on the SGM Scavenger Hunt while waiting for Richard's 4pm talk and live demo of glassmaking in our hot shop (the glassblowing demonstration area).

Richard will not only be demonstrating his virtuosity in glassblowing at 4pm, he will be the guest artist at an evening reception on Wednesday April 23rd at 5pm. More info at https://sandwichglassmuseum.org/pages/young-glass-makers-workshops
