David Graeber to teach at Carlisle School of Glass Art

Miniature Paperweights / Jewelry Making for Beginners

Saturday and Sunday, April 16 and 17, with a meet and greet with the Dave on the evening of Friday, April 15th

This 2 day class is will provide students a better understanding of different types of glass and equipment as well as safety techniques through demonstration and lecture. These flameworking techniques will be applied during the “hands on” portion of the class where students will work with soda lime to create small sculptures for miniature paperweights and/or jewelry.

About this Instructor: I was always drawn to different forms of art from an early age whether it was drawing cartoons or creating things out of wood. I was encouraged to attend a technical school while attending high school to study commercial art. From 1986-1989, I was fortunate to be offered an apprenticeship with local artist/professor George Vail, who not only continued to refine my skills artistically, but encouraged high personal standards and professionalism. In 1989, I was introduced to master glass artist Paul Stankard and his unmatched skill of lampworking. While I continue to assist Paul, I have become an independent glass artist, creating my own vision in glass. I strive to recreate nature in glass as realistically as possible, knowing that there are new techniques and designs waiting to be discovered that keep me driven and motivate me to continue the South Jersey glass tradition into the twenty first century.

Price is $325 + Materials... At this price we expect the class to fill quick so sign up soon...
