Flameworked Glass: Life Forms in Glass with Robert Mickelsen

This three-day class will focus on the rendering of life organisms - flowers, insects, birds, fish, etc. - in borosilicate glass. The objective is an understanding of the material and how to construct small, complex structures out of glass rod and tubing. The instruction will include a presentation on examples of such sculptures, numerous demonstrations, and plenty of hands-on guidance. Students are encouraged to bring their own tools, materials, and most of all, ideas to to the class. Don't forget a sketchbook!

Robert Mickelsen was born in Virginia and raised in Honolulu. He has taught extensively at the major glass schools including the Pilchuck Glass School, Penland School of Crafts, The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass, and The Eugene Glass School.
