Classy Glass, Madison

At Madison Glass Academy, students learn how to manipulate molten glass, turning a solid rod into liquid and molding it into a beautiful new shape. Group and individual classes begin with torch safety and the history of glassblowing before moving on to sculpting with rods and tubes. Students can master color theory and expanding techniques as they learn how to create functional sculptures and creative pieces of art, ranging from ornaments and pendants to vases and live dragons that emerge from the flames.
