In this hands-on five-day workshop, you'll find out — and walk away with the mold-making skills, color intuition, and pâte de verre technique to make glass tell stories in entirely new ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"gmail-font-claude-response-body gmail-break-words gmail-whitespace-normal gmail-leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe'll ease into the week with small practice pieces that build the foundation: mold-making from scratch, loading glass frit and powder to build color and texture, and understanding how particle size shapes the final result. Then things get interesting. One of your pieces — \u003cem\u003eThe Impossible Vessel\u003c\/em\u003e — will defy what you thought you knew about glass in a kiln: no slumping, no supporting core, just glass doing something it really shouldn't be able to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"gmail-font-claude-response-body gmail-break-words gmail-whitespace-normal gmail-leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe week's peak challenge is the ball cap. Caps will be provided, and you can enhance your cap with patches, pins, embroidered insignia, or whatever personal doo-dads matter to you — they can become part of your design. The goal isn't a perfect replica. It's a glass object saturated with character, wear, and story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"gmail-font-claude-response-body gmail-break-words gmail-whitespace-normal gmail-leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkills covered:\u003c\/strong\u003e mold-making, clay modeling (unfired), frit and powder application, color mixing and gradation, firing schedules, basic coldworking and polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"gmail-font-claude-response-body gmail-break-words gmail-whitespace-normal gmail-leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll levels welcome.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eYour opportunities are endless after learning this technique!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMay 25-29, 2027\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10am-5\/6pm each day\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor your information, the last day of class will most probably be ending early. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 DAY WORKSHOP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeposit = $600\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBalance = $600\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFull Price = $1,200\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will be charged the balance 60 days prior to workshop date! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e~ A 50% deposit is required to reserve your spot in all workshops.
