ABOUT CRAFT MATTHEW URBAN Glassblowing
This class will focus on taking the basics of glassblowing (cone, sphere, cylinder, amphora, handles, and color), and making them quick and easy. The overall objective will be to make as many forms as possible while maintaining consistency. The principals of glassblowing become clear and comprehensible when students understand the traditional vessel-making framework. Vessel making, as a form of exercise, will strengthen the way students approach projects at the bench. One year of glassblowing experience is required.

In addition, students will learn to make unique design elements including color bars and wafers, canes and murrini, vitreous enamels and lusters, silkscreened images, dichroics, and mica powders. Some flameworking and hot shop techniques also will be demonstrated. Discussions will also include kiln operation, annealing, and cold working techniques. Some glass fusing experience is required.
This class will cover all aspects of flameworked goblet making. Students will receive step-by-step instructions on how to make many cup shapes, and insight into how to create shapes students may dream up later. Many stems, feet, lids, color applications, and constructions will be considered. Through detailed demonstrations, hands-on practice, and visits through the Museum’s collection, students will gain keen insight into the goblet as a functional and sculptural form. Some flameworking experience is required. Students should be able to control hollow forms on the torch.
