What is lampworking?
Lampworking is a process that involves using a torch to heat glass to its molten state so that it can be shaped and manipulated. This highly satisfying process can be used to create solid or blown/hollow forms.
Our lampworking studio is equipped with 4 propane/oxygen torches and proper safety ventillation. We have a variety of glass rods and tubing available for classes and for purchase. We also provide students with protective neodymium eyewear, specifically designed to filter sodium flare from glass torches.
