This fun, intense workshop focuses on using hot glass roll-ups to create vibrant art glass. The slide show will offer fuel to spark your imagination and Saturday will be spent pulling various types of cane. After annealing the cane, students will arrange their roll-up compositions at some point during the week. On the following Saturday, we will roll-'em up to finish the final forms. Students can expect to leave the workshop with a finished piece, extra cane, and the skills to do it again! Students provide their own color bar, all other materials provided. Intermediate to advanced skill level. Please call for details.
