Create delicate, sculptural blooms in this hands-on borosilicate workshop focused on repetition, control, and thoughtful assembly. Students will learn how to shape and refine individual petals, practicing consistency and intentional movement to achieve balanced, cohesive forms.
You’ll explore how glass responds to heat as you flatten, shape, and refine each element, then discover the techniques for bringing those pieces together—carefully reheating and assembling them into a complete flower. The process culminates in pulling and shaping a graceful, twisty stem, adding movement and personality to your finished piece.
This class blends precision with creativity, giving you the skills to build a beautiful glass flower while gaining confidence working with borosilicate.
