GLASS SUMMER SESSION 7

Pipegeist
This workshop will survey a variety of pipe forms, moving through the history of glass pipes over the past 30 years, covering both dry and water pipes, and taking note of how the forms have evolved. Although we will cover basic color application, our focus will be on shaping and assembling hollow forms rather than pattern work. Students can expect to leave with a greater understanding of hollow shaping and seals and a deeper appreciation for the history and significance of the glass pipe. Intermediate/advanced level: students must have some experience making hollow forms at the torch. Flameworking studio.
Studio artist; teaching: Pilchuck (WA), The Studio at Corning (NY), DC Glassworks (MD), The Heat Base (VA), Tobacco Leaf Studios (FL).
