About

By special request! Learn to make miniature dinosaurs to keep or give as gifts.

Do you have a thing for the T-Rex? Like the looks of a brachiosaurus? We'll make at least two different styles of dinosaurs, depending on participants' preferences. We may do even more, time permitting.

You're encouraged to bring small toy dinos for models. While the glass provided in class will tend towards more realistic dinosaur colors, you're also welcome to bring additional borosilicate glass in your favorite colors. The instructor will have scrap bundles of boro color for sale, if desired.

Materials

  • A $30 materials fee, included in the price of the class, covers everything you need.
  • You're welcome to bring additional boro glass colors if you would like. 

Prerequisites

Class Policies

  • Ages 14 and up are welcome.
  • Wear close-toed shoes and long pants in the Glass Studio at all times.
  • Avoid wearing synthetic fibers (they melt), long loose sleeves (they dangle), shirts with open pockets or pants with cuffs (they can trap hot glass).

Laura Arns

Although she's a computer scientist by day, Laura Arns has been working with glass in various ways for more than 20 years during her free time. As a lampworker, she is somewhat unusual because she hasn't specialized but instead works with both borosilicate and soft glass to create beads, marbles, blown ornaments, sculptures, goblets, and more. She particularly enjoys collaborative projects with artists and artisans who work in other mediums. Over the years, she's had the opportunity to learn from numerous well-known lampworkers. A former college professor, she's looking forward to more teaching in BARN's Glass Arts Studio.
