"From Flame to Furnace"
Flameworking/Lathe/Glassblowing
June 6 - 10 (5-day workshop)
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

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.
