Intermediate Techniques with Soft Glass: Focus on Murrini

You'll use the torch and colored rod to build and pull two-three murrini canes. The instructor will demonstrate each design and you'll have time to make your own with assistance from the instructor, as desired.

• A $30 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers the use of studio tools, the cost of multiple colors of COE 104 rod, and 12mm boro rods to be used as punties. You may have some rod left over to take home after class, depending on how quickly you work.
• You're welcome to bring additional glass and materials like mandrels if you want to practice applying the murrini onto a base bead or into a marble.
• You're encouraged to bring any tools according to your preference.

• This class is for intermediate students. You should have taken an introductory beads or marbles class.
• Students with only borosilicate experience are welcome, but encouraged to try out soft glass at least once during open studio time before coming to class.

• Ages 14 and up are welcome.
• Wear close-fitting long-sleeve shirts and long pants of natural fibers. Stretch fabrics are prohibited.
• Wear closed-toe shoes (preferably leather or cotton). 
• Long hair should be tied back.
