You can blow glass, but can you blow punty? Crown, face, breakaway, bridged, dome, dusty, dirty, #@!$ – we got words for punties like the Finns got words for snow! This course enables advanced glassblowers to explore the transfer post as a tool for sculptural possibilities.
Closed bubbles, asymmetry, assembly, flame polish — with the right punty, blown glass extends beyond the pipe. Through in-depth demonstrations, lectures and discussion, you’ll push the potential of blown glass. Bring precision, creativity and confidence to every transfer—and breathe new life into your glass.
Nuutajärvi is the heart of handcrafted glass in Finland and the country’s oldest glass village. Its 230-year tradition of continuous glassmaking has shaped many of the classics and legends of Finnish glass design, while international glassmakers have drawn inspiration from the village’s distinctive history, creative exchange, and surrounding nature. Designers such as Kaj Franck and Oiva Toikka, along with international figures like Dale Chihuly, have been part of this living legacy.
