This class is intended for those with some experience blowing glass to break out of the functional mode and start seeing glass in 3-dimensions. This class will deal with everything from closed forms and blow punties to inside sculpting with oxy/propane torches. Issues of heating, turning, carrying more glass and preparing the proper shaped bubble for the final outcome will be constant conversation throughout the class. A love for experimentation and some glass experience required. Slate Grove has exhibited work in Seattle, WA; Chicago, IL; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; New York, NY; Cleveland, OH; and Louisville, KY and is currently the Glass Studio Coordinator at Penland School of Crafts.
