Course Description

In this class, you can pick out the colors, experiment with specialty glass, and use different techniques. You’ll also start making different paperweights to build your skills and learn how to blow the glass of different shapes and sizes. Each student can expect to make 8 - 12 pieces in this class. This class meets at a local studio; see full details at ce.harpercollege.edu. The Minimum number of people for this event is 1. The maximum number of people is 2 per group. The age limit is 16 +. The cost for this class includes all materials. Pieces will not be ready to take home on the same day because they have to cool down after being made, and cooling times vary. Each person will get a tour of the studio, gallery, and the Hot Shop, a short explanation of the instructor’s background.

Classes are held at:

Patterson Glass 
888 Tower Road, Unit E
Mundelein,IL 60060
