7/31 Simple Blown Glass Ornaments
Glaskolben is the German name for the clear glass cylinder used for blowing decorative ornaments. You will learn how to decorate these glaskolbens with a variety of frits and stringers (thin rods of glass), and how to heat them properly in order to blow them into beautiful ornaments. Each student receives glass tubes and an assortment of colorful glass frits, stringers, and other decorative bits to personalize your creation. It may take a little practice and not all of them will be keepers, but after a very short time you will be making some lovely, one-of-a-kind, handmade ornaments! They will be ready in a day or two for pick up and to hang on the tree or give as a gift. No previous experience required!
