In the multi-faceted world of glass, Volcano Art Center is pleased to expand its offerings of glass art with the two-day workshop “Introduction to Flameworking – Class” on Saturday and Sunday, August 3 & 4 from 2 – 4:30pm at VAC’s Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.
Flameworking, also known as lampworking or torchworking, is a type of glasswork whereby the artist utilizes a torch or lamp to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is blown and shaped with tools and hand movements, forming beads, figurines, or other similar miniature artwork.
This class, designed for the student who has never touched a torch, is sure to spark your interest. Instructor Nash Adams-Pruitt will teach the regions of the flame and heat base for a solid foundation from which to build flamework skills. Nash will lead the class in creating sphere forms and pendants.
You will complete this workshop with your own finished design, and the knowledge and experience of the basic skills involved to continue flameworking!
Class fee is $160/$155 for VAC members plus a $40 supply fee. Attendees are asked to wear covered shoes. Advance registration is required and this workshop will be limited to 6 adults.
