Beginning Flameworking with Steve Sizelove
In this two day introductory course, glass artist Steve Sizelove
will expose students to working with borosilicate solid glass rod
and tubing using a torch. A great emphasis will be placed on safe
working habits while students explore properties of clear and color
glass through demonstrations and hands-on time.

To help with understanding the glass, Steve will lead a discussion on
heat base, heat gradation, the properties of the flame, and annealing.
Students will be shown the techniques used to create jewelry and
small bottles. Please contact Steve at (765) 960-5148 with any
questions or concerns.

Building on Your Fundamentals
In this workshop, Steve will guide students toward a more complete
understanding of borosilicate hollow work. The emphasis will be placed
on heat base and heat gradation to create color tubing. Continuing the
discussion of heat, sections of tubing will be used to demonstrate that
the base shape of a bubble can become any hollow form, from goblet
cups and feet to encalmo sections to vessels, etc.

Steve will demonstrate the proper use of jacks, cup shears, and diamond
shears to shape the bubble into the desired form. Specific forms and tubing
techniques will be flexible, allowing students to guide the project toward their
specific interests. Please contact Steve at (765) 960-5148 with any questions
or concerns.
