Soft glass figure making the Venetian way and soft glass blowing with a small blow pipe at the torch .
The class will cover the venetian technique of figure making with soft glass starting from the simplest primitive figure and will end with the more elaborate open legged figure. I will show the tricks we use to make objects in soft glass without the use of a kiln and without continuously reheating the glass. We will also cover figure at the mandrel and adding mythological elements to the object.
Blowing with a small blow pipe at the torch will allow you to make small vessel and small hollow bead an make small tubing to save and use later when need it.
Demonstration on making scorpions , bugs and other animals in soft glass will be integral part of the class.
One year experience with soft glass required.
