[PA-NJ Glassblowers] Googleworks (Reading PA) has some interesting Glass workshops during February and March

Sun Feb 5 12:53:33 EST 2012

Googleworks in Reading PA has some interesting Glass Workshops during 
February and March.

For those looking for a simple project, the bird feeder projects (shown 
below) will be appreciated by your feathered friends.

But there are two other Glass workshops which I think are noteworthy:

  * Merging fused glass with glassblowing, students will create a piece
    of flat fused glass in GoggleWorks´ Cold Glass Studio (during the
    first class session)  and then (during the second class session)
    blow it into a three-dimensional vessel in the Hot Glass Studio. No
    previous experience is required.  Pretty interesting!
  * For those who want to get a feel for *three types of glass art*,
    hands-on introductory class exploring: glass fusing, flameworking
    *and* "hot glass" glassblowing.

Enjoy,
