Organic Forms is about curiosity, risk-taking, and discovering new ways of seeing and shaping glass.
Organic Forms invites students to explore glass not as a rigid object, but as a fluid, living material. Over three 3-hour sessions, participants will focus on the natural flow and movement of molten glass, experimenting with inclusions, interior spaces, layered color, and atmospheric effects. We will investigate how air, heat, gravity, and timing shape form embracing irregularity, softness, and sculptural possibility. This class encourages a shift away from strictly technical vessel-making toward more expressive, experimental forms. Students will create objects that blur the line between vessel and sculpture, considering glass as a fluid in motion rather than a fixed solid.
Scholarships are available for this class. Please complete the application as soon as possible.

Taught by Sam Schumacher of Rocket Glass Works, this speciality course focused on designing objects in the Hot Shop to convert them into unique light accents. Students learned how to safely wire and connect energy efficient bulbs to their glass creations, resulting in a one of a kind handmade lighting display to elevate any space.
