Courage Through Fire is a 10-week (40 hour) program offered to members of our Armed services, Veterans and active duty. This program introduces several hot and warm beginning techniques of glass art creation through item/project based teaching. This program is an amazing introduction to each of our studios, affording the participant the opportunity to learn the scientific principles and rich history behind studio art glass while practicing a wide variety of glass making techniques; glass blowing, sand casting, kiln forming, cold working and flame working. Participants are hands on with the material through every meeting and leave this program with a new appreciation and understanding of glass as an artistic medium.

Based on experience, participants may be split into smaller groups. For first time participants, we will focus on basic techniques with predetermined projects. Whereas, returning participants will have the opportunity to build on their earlier experiences, increasing their confidence while working toward personal artistic goals.

When a 10-week session has reached the minimum requirements, registration for individual sessions will open up. This will allow perspective participants to try out the class by joining in on a individual meeting or current participants to bring a fellow veteran to join them for an individual meeting.
