NEW! Making Murrine: Advanced Glassblowing - December 21 & 22

Saturday & Sunday: December 21 & 22
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Instructor: Eli Zilke

Elevate your blown glass art by incorporating murrine into your designs. Murrine, known for its intricate and colorful patterns, adds a level of detail and sophistication to any glass piece. In this class, you'll learn the entire process of creating murrine, from start to finish.

You'll begin by gathering layers of colored glass, to build up your desired pattern. Once your layers are in place, you'll marver the glass into a cylindrical shape that will then be heated and carefully "pulled," into a long cane. The magic happens when you cut the cane into disks—each slice reveals a cross-section of the pattern you've crafted.

These vibrant, patterned disks can then be incorporated into your blown glass work, adding a complex, decorative element that truly enhances the visual appeal of your pieces. Whether you're looking to add subtle accents or bold focal points to your designs, learning how to create and use murrine will expand your artistic repertoire and open up new creative possibilities in glassblowing.

Prerequisite: Glassblowing 3. Bring additional color to use to create your cane.
