~Off Mandrel Basics with Hearts & Implosions

In this 16 hour class, we will be covering off mandrel basics, using borosilicate glass.
Students will learn flame settings, cold seals, gathers, loops, heat control, flame atmosphere, annealing, setting up color layers and striking colors.
Students will use heat and gravity to shape their pieces. We will focus on how to read the heat base in the glass, so we are anticipating its movement and not just reacting to it.
We will practice making loops for your pendants, drilling with hot tungsten, making a layered boro twisty, encasing with boro, adding dots, reaming a big hole in boro using peter tweezers and Handy Andys, raking boro using a clear stringer, making a Maria, adding a drip to the bottom of a pendant, layering colors, simple implosions and boro hearts.
