June 2nd-4th
In this special workshop Steve Sizelove will guide students toward a more complete understanding of borosilicate hollow work. The Emphasis will be placed on heat base and heat gradation to create color tubing. Continuing the discussion of heat, sections of tubing will be used to demonstrate that the base shape of a bubble can become any hollow form, from goblet cups and feet to encalmo sections to vessels. Steve will demonstrate the proper use of jacks, cup shears, and diamond shears to shape the bubble into the desired form. Specific forms and tubing techniques will be flexible, allowing students to guide the project towrad their specific interests.

Nathan Purcell and Ian Kerr opened Philadelphia Glass Works in 2003. They have since moved from the original location at 3100 Spring Garden Street in West Philadelphia and can now be found in the Northern Liberties section of the city at 908A North 3rd Street.
Since its founding, Philadelphia Glass Works has been the only public lampworking facility in the city. Local artists and those wishing to learn the craft can enjoy a wide range of services.
Resident artists teach the classes for all skill levels including beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Here students will enjoy hands-on instruction as they learn different techniques such as lampworking, pate de verre, and slumping. Local artists can also display and sell their work at the gallery.
Artists who do not have their own studio and supplies can rent them here. Torch time and cold working facilities can be rented hourly. Lamp-workers can also purchase supplies such as borosilicate glass and tools at the studio.
