The
Washington Glass School is a unique educational program
in the Nation's Capital area, operating as the sculptural
glass education, artistic and community center and resource
for the mid-Atlantic region, serving students, artists and
the general public. It encourages research and exploration
of new techniques in all aspects of glass (kilncast,
fused, cold worked) as well as other media such as steel,
ceramics, lighting and concrete. Our goal is to introduce
artists in other media to the depth, processes and joys
of glass to enhance their work.
The classes offered include hands-on instruction and workshops
introducing a variety of glass techniques along
with more specific courses. The School also brings in guest
instructors for warm glass weekends and/or week-long concentrations and workshops.
Current course offerings include beginning and advanced
fusing, fusing with plate glass, blown glass (in collaboration with DC GlassWorks), cast glass and steel sculptural
development, and architectural lighting. The focus
is on the exploration and creation of artwork, sculpture
and lighting, including jewelry and architectural elements
(lighting, tiles, sinks). Our classes are scheduled with
urban living in mind, and are typically held on evenings
and weekends.
We are proud to announce our new "Sister School" program here at Washington Glass School. You will notice that in several classes we have joined forces with DC GlassWorks to bring you exciting crossover classes. This continues our efforts to bring you the most comprehensive and interesting classes in the region, and to join with other glass programs to bring to you a wider variety of educational opportunities.
