Have you ever seen a shiny glass sculpture, a colorful bowl, or a sparkly piece of glass jewelry and wondered how it was made? Glass is magical - it melts, moves, and changes right before your eyes! In this class, you’ll explore the fun world of kilnformed glass. We’ll learn the basics of fusing, slumping, and even glass casting.
You’ll get to create all kinds of projects, starting with simple bowls and plates and then trying out more creative, sculptural pieces.
Don’t miss this chance to play with glass and make something amazing. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Artist Statement
"My journey as an artist has been informed by my experience growing up in Japan - the nexus of a profound, traditional past in co-existence and interaction with an energetic, hyper-modern future. My choice of glass as a medium reflects my experience: it is both rooted in traditional techniques while at the same time projecting a modern materiality. I want to capture this reality in my work, balancing the old and the new, honoring tradition and innovation, exploring past and future."
