Torchwork: Not Just Beads! Discover the Art of Shaping Glass with Fire
Curious about the magic behind glass art? Join us for an engaging presentation that goes beyond the basics. We’ll explore the incredible world of torchwork (also known as lampworking), a precise form of glassblowing that uses a bench-mounted torch to create stunning works of art.
While beads are a very popular and accessible entry point to torchwork, the art form’s capabilities extend far beyond. Artists create a vast array of intricate and beautiful items. Join us to hear from local artists share : the essential tools, fundamental techniques, and beautiful creations.
Speakers: Kathy Johnson of Glass Expressions and Serena Smith of The Makerspace 97058
