Adam Holtzinger
Less is More
June 4th-8th, 5-day workshop
$750.00
This course is designed to accelerate your skill level into the "I didn't know I could do that!" realm. You will be challenged to focus and actively problem-solve your technique alongside dealing with simple design problems in an intensive, easy to understand environment. From gathering to bubble set-up and finishing, the goal is to acquire an effortless "less is more" approach with consistency and quick output as a priority.
Skill-building drills, teamwork, drawing, collaboration and hard work will reinforce methods employed. At the same time, through research, discussion and practice, students will solve design problems with a critical eye and make adjustments with newly acquired hand skill. This course is perfect for those that are looking to advance their hand skill, produce more in less time and have a strong interest in design.
After receiving a BFA in Glass from the Cleveland Institute of Art, Adam Holtzinger moved to Brooklyn, NY to pursue a career in glass blowing. Once in NYC, Adam began designing and fabricating work for designers and artists, as well as other glass makers. Since 2003, Adam has taught, lectured and demonstrated glass blowing nationally and internationally at Pilchuck Glass School, Penland School of Crafts, Urban Glass, Brooklyn Glass, Pittsburgh Glass Center, Corning Museum of Glass & GlassLab, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, NOCA, 141 Penn Studios, Ohio State University, The Cleveland Institute of Art, Osaka Art University in Osaka Japan and Tama Glass School in Tokyo Japan.
Adam served as head Gaffer for Niche Modern Design from 2003 through August 2014.
Adam currently lives in Brooklyn, NY where he makes custom work for various clients.

Sally Prasch and George Kennard
>From Flame to Furnace
June 25th-28th, 4-day workshop
$750.00
This team-taught workshop will blend the arts of furnace and lampworked glass as we use the torch to form shapes and objects that will be incorporated into hot-worked glass. George Kennard who is an instructor and furnace glassblower for the Corning Museum of Glass and Sally Prasch who is an instructor of artistic and scientific glass. We'll cover fundamental lampworking and furnace glassblowing techniques, pulling and using cane and murrine, drawing with cane, and placing lampworked shapes onto hot glass. We will also explore the use of scientific glassblowing techniques in the hot shop. Lathe work in the hot shop is highly possible.  We will be using primarily 96COE. Don't miss the rare opportunity to work with George and Sally. All levels

Sally Prasch is perhaps the perfect blend of advanced technical skill and intuitive creativity. Her background is in both scientific glassblowing and fine art. She began her career at the age of 13, with Lloyd Moore working as a part-time apprentice at the University of Nebraska and later as a Glassblowing Instructor for the City of Lincoln Recreation Department. She took workshops from some of the best glassblowers of the time, including William Bernstein, Ray Schultz, and Lino Tagliapietra.
Sally attended the University of Kansas from 1977 to 1980 and received a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art in Glass (Furnace glassblowing) and Ceramics.  In 1985, Prasch received her Certificate in Scientific Glass Technology, and, in 1986, received a degree in Applied Science from Salem Community College. Later that year she got a job as a Scientific Glassblower and Glass Instructor at the University of Massachusetts where she taught scientific glassblowing and the properties of glass to graduate students in Chemistry and Physics. She soon began to receive recognition for her artistic work and was selected for the Corning New Glass Review in 1993.
Sally's current work is characterized by the combination of her technical skills and a strong art esthetic. She places other-worldly figures in glowing globes filled with rare gasses and constructs portraits of friends from broken shards picked out of the glass trash barrels. One item she is well known for are goblets made with coiled stems so that they bounce when handled.  Her latest work incorporates cast bronze with glass.
Perhaps Prasch's greatest fulfillment comes from teaching. She has taught flameworking workshops at Urban Glass in New York City, at the famous Niijima Glass School in Japan; Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, WA; Penland School of Crafts, Penland, NC; Pittsburgh Glass Center, Pittsburgh, PA;  Grove Gas & Light Co, University of CA, San Diego, CA; Ingalena Klenell's Studio, Sweden and many more.

George Kennard has been at the Corning Museum of Glass since 2001, after spending eight years working in private studios. He began his tenure at the Museum as an instructor in The Studio, teaching beginning and continuing classes in glassblowing. Kennard enjoys the limitless opportunities for creating with molten glass and prefers making large-scale incalmo pieces, by joining two blown glass bubbles to create different bands of color.
