Do you want to explore the art of molten glass all while giving back?
Join us at Michigan Hot Glass for A Glass Experience. An ongoing series, the Experience is a day long event offering up to 5 class types with multiple sessions throughout the day to choose from.
Profits generated from these classes will benefit The Michigan Glass Project.
Under the guidance of skilled glass artists, participants will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience manipulating glass through a variety of techniques. These immersive and educational "experiences" will provide individuals with the basic tools to explore the creative potential of glass. From furnace work to flame work, cold work to glass casting, there is something for everyone. After each class, participants will have a unique one of a kind piece of glass art to take home. Sign up solo or do so with friends and family!
Tickets and Registration: $65 per session includes 15 minutes of guided instruction followed by 45 minutes of hands-on learning. Participants will be charged at online registration. Participants must be 16 years of age or older.

MEET OUR INSTRUCTORS
COLDWORK
Steve Wortley has spent most of his career as an R&D software developer and engineer. A chance conversation with his neighbor, a glass artist that wanted to add facets to his work, resulted in the creation of the Prismware LapDancer faceting jig. Since its introduction in 2018, LapDancers have spread out across the globe, accepted by artists as a simple faceting solution. Steve has evolved from inventor to artist and teacher, working with and instructing glass artists of all levels around the world.
