Glassblowing

One-Week Session

This course will provide a firm foundation in the basic movements of Venetian-style glassblowing. It will include the making of well-formed and thinly blown vessel bodies, excellent necks, delicate mereses, and blown feet and stems. When students have mastered these techniques, they will proceed to making canes and studying cane-working processes. Objects from The Corning Museum of Glass collection will be closely studied—initially to frustrate, and then to inspire students. One year of glassblowing experience is required.
