"Building a Strong Foundation"
Introductory & Beginning Glassblowing
June 1 - 4, 2027
Welcome to Glassblowing!! In this 4-day intensive workshop, we will cover important foundational techniques to develop good glassblowing habits.
We will use a variety of fun games and drills to get more comfortable moving around the hotshop and the material. Each day we will build on the techniques learned in the previous lessons.
We will be crafting different forms such as paperweights, cups, bowls, and plates to study hot glass and how it moves. There will be a small amount of color provided and students are welcome to bring their own.
No experience is necessary Intermediate levels are welcome to join us and dive into more subtleties in the glassblowing process.
This class meets from 9am to 5pm each day, Monday through Thursday, with additional studio time Monday through Wednesday, from 5pm to 9pm. Materials for participating in the course are included.
She has worked for multiple artists as an assistant, mostly notably for Paul Stankard from 2016 to present. She currently resides in Philadelphia and is Head Gaffer at John Pomp Studios, specializing in high end lighting and furniture production.
In her personal work, she is inspired to create clean forms with simple patterns, highlighting the physical and optical properties that only glass can offer as a material. Her practice is primarily focused on using a formulaic approach to the physical act of glassblowing. Patty is less focused on art than she is on technical craftsmanship, but she feels her artistic expression thrives during the process of making. Her love affair with glass is held with the unique physical properties in which glass inherently exists. When she's not honing her craft with full-time production, she enjoys flameworking, teaching, and taking classes.
