Workshops
Allan Brown Regular Member Workshop
(Open to Regular, international, and lifetime members only)
Kevin Teaford, scientific glassblower for the University of Utah, continues this time honored tradition of the Allan Brown workshop. This workshop has been designed as the continuation of knowledge, skills, and technique from the Junior member workshops. This is not just for new regular members however, as many of the topics address skills that most glassblowers are not required to use on a daily basis, but may aid in having a more efficient glass facility with higher success rates for production and apparatus design. This workshop is designed to instruct the attendees on different approaches to skills they already are likely using, and teaches some more advanced techniques they may not know as of yet.
Joe S. Gregar Junior Member Workshop
(Open to Junior and Student Members only)
Chris Bock, proprietor and glassblower for Sea Cube Co. custom glassware, hosts this year’s Junior and Student members in what is considered by many to be our most important offering. This course is designed to examine basic sealing techniques from several different approaches in both borosilicate and quartz glass. Chris along with several other experienced glass workers will be providing our newer members with several different approaches to working glass in this hands-on seminar. Enrollment in this class is extremely limited and competitive, being open to only 12 Junior and Student members.
