Cane I - Intro to Venetian Cane
Service Description
In this five week class, you will learn the basics of classic glass cane techniques, including pulling straight cane, ribbon cane, and zanfirico (twisty cane). Once we have some materials pulled, we will learn how to pick up cane on the outside of a bubble, and on a collar. Students will learn tricks for creating vessels, including what you can and cannot do with a cane set up. This class is primarily about how to manipulate cane, and will focus less on vessel shape and form. Each class will include roughly one hour of instruction and two hours of practice time. Tuition includes limited color use. Students may wish to purchase their own glass rods of color for class use at www.glasscolor.com Missed classes: Because of the cost involved in running this class, we are unable to offer make-up sessions for missed classes. We are happy to offer a private lesson at our regular rate if you need a make up session. Prerequisite: Intermediate glass blowing, or two years of glass blowing experience, or one year experience as a BCGC apprentice, or permission of instructor. Ages: 18+ Please note: participants will be required to wear 'natural fiber clothing' when glassblowing. Cotton tshirts, jeans, etc. are recommended. Absolutely no leggings.
