Brazee Street School of Glass is pleased to welcome distinguished glass artist and instructor, Erwin Timmers. Green up your life and art in this exploration into using recycled glass to make sculptural pieces, architectural elements, and tableware. Join us for this two-day workshop where students will explore a variety of techniques including fusing, casting, and slumping. Glass chemistry, coloration, and firing temperatures will be explained for each particular application. It is a fantastic way to learn aspects of any warm glass work while focusing on recycling!

Once you start down the path of recycled glass, you will see more and more opportunities for experimentation around you. No prior experience is necessary - you are encouraged to bring in materials you'd like to try...and you will leave with several very cool items.
