Supervised Lampworking Lab with Monitor Cindi Hardwicke
This lab is a studio space for lampworkers who have already demonstrated basic skills to manipulate glass on a torch to practice and improve their skills. A basic knowledge of glass studio safety is also required. Students registering for both sessions, on the same day, may continue to work through the break.
PLEASE NOTE: Students must have previously taken a Glass Lampworking Workshop with Justin Pettingell, Michael Peluso, or Cindi Hardwicke, or be able to demonstrate proof of torchworking skills to Cindi in order to utilize this lab.
*This lab is not an instructional class, but the lab instructor will be happy to provide minimal assistance as needed.
The studio is equipped with 5 Mini-CC torches which work for both 104 coe soft glass, as well as small borosilicate glassworks. We also have a Chili Pepper kiln and a Paragon Kiln to anneal soft glass beads, pendants, and small sculptural pieces.
Supplies for Soft Glassworkers:
Please bring your own Lampworking Glass Rods and other materials that you may require.
Basic tools, didymium glasses, mandrels, and bead release are provided for your use.
*Limited supplies of 104 coe glass rods will be available for purchase in the studio.
Supplies for Boro Glassworkers:
Please bring your own Boro Glass.
Basic tools and didymium glasses are provided for your use.
