Visiting Artist Workshop: Hot Glass Academy

Hot Glass Academy is a mobile glassblowing studio that will set up a furnace on WMA’s campus on March 28th-31st 2024 for multiple sessions. Each workshop session begins with a comprehensive safety introduction to working with hot glass. Students then begin their one-on-one session with the instructor by picking out one or two glass colors for their object, followed by a brief, fun warm-up with glass and tools for each student to become familiar with the material properties of molten glass.

Indulge your inner artist with a two-hour glass blowing session! Hot Glass Academy
glassblowing studio will set up a furnace on WMA’s campus. Each workshop session begins
with a comprehensive safety introduction to working with hot glass. Students then begin
their one-on-one session with the instructor by picking out one or two glass colors for their
object, followed by a brief, fun warm-up with glass and tools for each student to become
familiar with the material properties of molten glass. Next, students will gather glass on a
steel blowpipe or rod, apply their chosen color(s), and shape the glass into the selected
form. Each piece will be placed in the annealing oven for a slow cooling process*. Every
object is handmade and no two are exactly the same. Students will have the option to
create a cup, ornament, paperweight, or flower.

This is an EXCLUSIVE workshop. Hot Glass Academy no longer hosts workshops outside of their studio
in Georgia, so make sure you mark your calendar and stay tuned for online registration!
*Objects will be available for pickup the next day, following the slow cooling process
