Practice the mesmerizing art of glassmaking! In this week-long camp, students will hone their skills at glass fusing, sculpting, and blowing under the guidance of glass artist Sam Lightner in her on-site studio.

Glass fusing involves melting and slumping glass in the intense heat of a kiln to create art pieces and practical objects, combining colors and incorporating recycled materials to create beautiful and ecologically sound art. In glass sculpting, learn to twist and cut glass into flowers, feathers, worrystones, and more, layering molten glass and using tools to create a final piece. After learning the basics, students will have the opportunity to make cups and other blown objects, using breath to make functional art.

Ages: Grades 3-8
Taught by Samantha Lightner of Lightner Glass
