GLASS – SUMMER SESSION 2
June 2-14, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Andrew Certo
Carefully Crafting a Heater

This technique-heavy workshop is all about what makes an intricate, first-quality pipe. We will focus on design, pattern making, and placing detail in just the right spots. Topics will include marbles, cabs, murrine, layering, sleeving, lathe work, color prep and much more. We will also cover complex assembly and everything else needed to construct a proper heater (a really nice pipe). If you want to step up your pattern work, this workshop is for you. Intermediate/advanced level: students must be comfortable with the basics of working with hollow tubing on the torch. Flameworking studio.
