Master Class with Andrea Spencer at The Glass Hub

Glass from Nature is a three-day flameworking workshop, taking inspiration from nature and working at a bench torch with Borosilicate glass. Using heat and gravity to manipulate glass in the flame you will learn methods and techniques to bend, stretch, sculpt and carve molten glass, creating sculptural objects, inspired by natural forms.

Using both bench and hand torches you will learn how to build intricate elements, using solid and hollow sculpting techniques. These elements can then be combined to make a variety of sculptural assemblages, installations, and objects. The class will offer demonstrations alongside practise at individual workstations, learning how to create detailed and intricate work with glass in the flame.

No previous glassmaking experience is necessary. All materials, tools and safety equipment will provided.
