Hot Glass II

Catalog description

Enroll in Hot II and build on your existing skill set and expand your creative potential. Refine and diverge from the standard cup and bowl shape in the first few weeks before moving on to more complex forms. Explore basic color application methods and learn how to troubleshoot common problems. It is recommended that all students take this class a second time in order to continue to develop and refine basic skills before moving on to Hot glass 3. Hot I, 24 hours of hot shop experience, or instructor permission is required. 2 free (1 hour) rental sessions per student are included with tuition to Hot Glass 2. Rental time is purposefully included with this 8-week course to give students independent studio time to practice the skills demonstrated in class and prepare students to feel comfortable renting the hot shop if desired. Using rental session(s) contributes to final grade for CMU students. Students must attend at least one rental session (in addition to their 8 classes) to receive an A in this course. Studio rental is scheduled based around student schedule and studio availability. Registration for Pittsburgh Glass Center classes can only be done on or after your scheduled registration day.
