Visiting Artist Dan Alexander

This upcoming class instructed by Dan Alexander will cover many topics over a two day period (3/9-3/10). These topics will be focused around cane and different ways of applying color and design to the glass form. Dan is very experienced in venetian style glassblowing and has many different techniques he is capable of teaching. Some of the techniques being taught will include:
  • Roll ups (collar/bubble)

  • Incolmo

  • Reticello

  • Switch-Axis

  • Merletto

  • Color Wraps

  • Feathering

Depending on student interest and experience we will do deep dives into some of these topics more than others. There will be ample instruction time as well as blow time throughout both days. The class will start at 9:00am both days , we will break for lunch and continue into the evening. So come hang out with us and let’s blow some glass!
