Glassblowing

Glassblowing

Course Code: ARTS0101

This course has been designated at a beginner level. No previous knowledge or skill is needed to take these courses.
Discover the art of glassblowing using traditional techniques that date back 2000 years. Glass is first melted in a furnace at 2100 degrees Fahrenheit, at which time you learn how to gather the molten material on the end of a steel blowpipe to form it into vases, bowls, paperweights, goblets and sculpture. You will also have an opportunity to participate in discussions on equipment, safety, history and current trends in glass. Colour will be available for purchase in the Red Door Store.
During the summer, this course may run simultaneously with Glassblowing II. Please clearly indicate which level you are registering for.
