Students will learn methods and techniques for assembling fusible structures in flat glass, and bringing those structures to a working point from which they can be manipulated either inside or outside the kiln.

Drawing concepts and ideas from the movement of the material, you will explore the potential of flame worked Borosilicate (Pyrex) glass. Rods and tubes will be transformed, using gravity, centrifugal force, blowing and manipulation with tools into components that will then be connected to form assembled structures.
