Pumpkin - palooza with James Smith (November Afternoon)

Come for a day of Fall fun in UrbanGlass' hotshop! We'll be keeping warm next to the furnace while making colorful glass pumpkins. What to Expect: Students will work together and learn to manipulate molten glass (2000 degrees). Safety, color application, and tools will all be covered in a fun and exciting environment. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm. Glassblowing involves a variety of activities including sitting, standing, and working with hot glass. The environment can be very hot and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website. Eligibility: No experience necessary. Open to ages 14 and up. Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work. This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration. We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class. Contact our Registrar of Education, Ari Eshoo, at [email protected] if you have questions about the class or would like to arrange a payment plan. 1 Session, Saturday, November 14, 2-5pm Instructor: James Smith
