Glassblowing
At Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, you’ll have an opportunity to work in a studio with furnaces burning at 2,000 degrees! This is where you’ll discover how to create art from molten glass. It’s an incredible experience and one of the most popular series of classes on campus for students of any major who have an interest in trying something new.
In the glass program, you’ll experience many forms of glass: glassblowing, sand casting and kiln casting. TheseÌýare just a few ways to create glass art. Working with others as aÌýteam, you’ll fire molten glass and create showcase pieces.
The Jackson Dinsdale Art Center houses the spacious glass studio — it’s state-of-the-art and the best facility of any college or university in the country.
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ glass students have interned across the country, and you’ll find graduates who’ve worked with glass:
- In graduate school in Canberra, Australia,
