Solid State

➤ What?

What’s next? Learning Glass: Solid State gives the opportunity to work with HOT GLASS through instruction and on your own! This workshop will guide you through the steps of sculpting with solid, molten, glass. We will go through different color and texture applications and focus on your ideas coming to life. In this intermediate level class, you will take the next steps in your pursuit of working with glass.

➤ When?

The workshop will take place on two consecutive weekends, beginning each day with a 2 hour instructional demonstration. Each afternoon, participants will work in teams of two with four hours work together and practice what they have learned or create your own works.

➤ Price?

The workshop price is €530 (incl. VAT.), and a discounted price of €500 (incl. VAT) if you are between the ages of 14 and 30. The different colors you will be able to work with are included in the price. If you have to cancel, please do so at least a week in advance, otherwise we won't be able to refund the deposit. In case you want a VAT invoice please send an email to bries@gentglas.com to sign up. You can sign up until November 8.
