Intermediate Flameworking Class – Blooming Flower Implosion in Borosilicate Glass
- Free Standard Shipping in Canada
- Made to Order. Hand Crafted
Learn how to make vibrant flowers bloom and implode into beautiful 3D forms inside solid glass using an oxygen/propane torch. This intermediate flameworking class is taught at my Langford studio, just outside Victoria, BC, and focuses on precision, colour, and depth within borosilicate glass.
Covered in class:
- Flower variations (using coloured glass rods or pulled stringers)
- Shape, placement, and depth control
- Fuming with clear glass (gold & silver vapour techniques)
The focus of this fun, hands-on 2-day glassblowing workshop is on making your glass flowers come to life — learning how heat, gravity, and movement work together to form mesmerizing 3D implosions. 🌸
Students can choose to finish their piece as a marble or pendant, with guidance tailored to their skill level.
This class is best suited for those with previous flameworking experience, but open to anyone with basic torch skills ready to take their glasswork to the next level.
All glass pieces you create are yours to take home. Pieces can be picked up within two weeks or shipped upon request.
- Fuming, where 999% fine silver & 24K Gold are placed in front of the torch creating a vapour and used in different ways to create colour.
- Patterns range piece to piece and are metallic, opalescent, 3-d, abstract, smokey patterns.
- Silver is Blue/White/Green. Dark backing colour makes these colours pop.
- Gold is pink with a white backing and orange with dark backing. Using both silver and gold creates a rainbow hues that range from white/blue/orange/pink/green/purple.
- Different effects and colours are brought out by the backing colour and how the artist sculpted the glass.
- Subtle changes in the hues depending on what light is reflected and creates a beautiful shine and movement inside of the glass.
- Challenging to have full control the colour and will vary from piece to piece
