FAQ
What to expect on class day?
Upon arrival your expert glassblower will introduce you to the shop and walk you through color theory and selection. Once you have chosen your shape and color(s), you will be invited into the hot shop where the class will begin with a demo from your instructor. After the demo, you will start your lesson. You will learn skills such as gathering glass, picking up color, keeping your piece at a workable temperature, marvering, blowing, using various molds and so much more!
At the end of your lesson you will secure your piece in the annealer where it will take 16 hours to slowly reach room temperature. Once your piece is secure you will have the opportunity to ask Tate and/or Aaron any last burning (get it - wink wink) questions, explore the hot shop and gallery and if we're lucky, leave us a rave review!
On that note, don't take our word for it, check out our past student testimonials to get a feel for what you can expect at 2BGlass!
