Beginner's Glass Blowing Lessons in Portland, Oregon
Overview
Ever been interested in trying your hand at blowing glass? Join me in my flameworking studio and learn how to make your first piece of glass art with us!
Borosilicate glass blowing is a unique art that uses a table-mounted torch to melt and manipulate glass. While more niche than traditional glass blowing, this type of flameworking offers participants a unique, hands-on artistic experience. Each student will be equipped with their own torch and will make several glass pieces with support from Brahim.
What's Included
- Use of all safety equipment and glass blowing tools are included for the duration of class.

What To Expect
Blow your own glass for the first time to make an ornament, ring dish or water globe! You can also choose between making a marble, mushroom sculpture, wine bottle stopper, pendant, or shot glass.
Students get to keep any glass they create, and gain knowledge and hands-on experience in a very unique field. No experience necessary.
*Glass made during lesson will require kilning for durability, which takes a minimum of 4 hours. Most students choose to pick up the glass they made the next day (or at their earliest convenience).
