Marc Vandenberg will be teaching a three day workshop at the West Michigan Glass Society (http://www.wmglass.org) in Kalamazoo, MI.
Furnace Blown Glass with Lampworked Inclusions
October 6, 7, 8
Students will create detailed inclusions at the torch from reichenbach color bar and pre-pulled clear (spruce pine) cane. These inclusions will then be brought down to the hot shop to be attached to furnace worked vessels. This class will focus on flame characteristics and figurine work at the torch, and garage techniques and small detailed work in the hot shop.
Marc Vandenberg is currently a glassblower at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI., and has taught privately, at Corning and Southern Illinois University. Marc's work can be seen at his website (http://www.marcvandenberg.com/), and is also exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries and private collections.
Prerequisite for the class:
At least one year lampworking of furnace work
Cost:
$400.00
This will be a great class for anyone, at any level looking to expand their skills. Space is limited to 6 students so get on board.
