"I’ll make you a punty you can’t refuse!"

Many cultures have centuries-old glass making traditions but, in Jason's opinion, the workshops of the Venetian lagoon produced some of the finest blown glass objects the world has ever known.
Join Jason as he introduces the basics of this style of working, as understood from an American studio environment

You can expect to learn skills that work toward creating thin-footed vessels:
● Bringing a great punty and learning how to spot the ones you should avoid.
● Making and receiving thin blown feet.
● Creating a “bulletproof” neckline that breaks well consistently.
● Gathering the right amount of glass
● Straightening a piece both on the pipe and on the punty
● Taking a piece off the punty with increased success

The class will be a “skills and drills” type course with a combination of demos and practice. Be ready to build good working habits that you can apply to your practice and leave room to surprise yourself.
