Get matched →In this introductory borosilicate glass class, you'll learn how to make rings from borosilicate glass! You'll learn how to size rings to fit your fingers and add embellishments to design your own ring. We'll work on pulling stringers and attaching bits to your sized/cooled pieces to make unique rings. Students should be able to leave with at least 2-3 rings made. Prior experience is not necessary, but would help you excel in the class! Working with hot glass takes practice, but it's tons of fun! After demonstrations by the instructor, expect to make 1–2 successful pieces during this class (along with a few experimental attempts as you learn the ropes). Don’t worry if not every attempt is perfect – learning to control heat and gravity is all part of the process, and even the wonky shapes will build your skills. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. While flameworking, participants primarily engage in seated activities such as working with glass rods and torches. The environment can be bright and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.
No experience required. This introductory class is open to absolute beginners. Open to ages 14 and up.
The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment.
