Step behind the torch!

‍

In this introductory workshop, you'll move beyond being a mere spectator and step directly behind the torch. You'll discover firsthand how a rigid glass rod transforms, under the heat of the flame, into a pliable material capable of coming to life.

With step-by-step guidance, you'll participate in the creation of a glass rose approximately 15 cm in size. You'll learn the fundamental techniques of glass blowing: controlling the flame, observing the molten material, and guiding its movements to shape your flower.

‍

What's included:

- Introduction to lampworking

- Learning glass blowing techniques

- Collaborative creation of a glass rose

- Personalized advice and guidance

‍

Due to thermal constraints, your creation cannot be taken home immediately. It will be available at the shop the following day, after an essential annealing process.

➡️ All materials and protective equipment are provided.

➡️ Please wear appropriate attire: hair tied back, avoid loose clothing, wide sleeves, or flowing fabrics.

Hosted by Pauline Walcart, glass artist, resident at Bliiida.
