Hello all and happy Saturday! I have lots of new things happening here at Rachel Escoe Glass.
First, I have received my glass furnace that I ordered to be made about 3 months ago and it’s here!!!!!! I will be getting some of my last ducks in a row and making sure everything is dialed in here at Rachel Escoe Glass before being fully hot and running. I am hoping to have the NEW Glass Current Studio open and ready for business by August or September.
Once the shop is running I will be offering morning and afternoon workshop time slots on Saturdays every week. Evening workshops will continue to be held Saturdays THRU Wednesdays.
Follow me on Instagram @RachelEscoeGlass for more photos and videos of the unveiling of my mobile glass shop journey!
I have also added a fun NEW workshop listing that a lot of my students have been asking about. It is an advanced glassblowing workshop where my previous students and others that have dabbled in glassblowing can continue to learn more advanced techniques like making a sculptural bird out of glass or making a classic handblown vessel.
I am so excited for this new workshop to take off. So check out that listing in my online shop at RachelEscoeGlass.com
Have you previously taken a glass workshop with me or at another facility? Then this is the workshop for you! You learned how to gather hot glass, how to blow a bubble into it, pick up color and shape it. Now you get to learn some more advanced techniques and take it to a new level.
In this 3-hour workshop you will be learning how to make your glass vessels thinner, how to add more design elements of color and how to sculpt hot glass. Team work will also become more of an important part of this workshop.
You will have the option of making a fun wavy vase or a classic vase, further your experience with drinking glasses and learn how to make a sculptural bird. Birds are a symbol of wisdom, enlightenment and elevation. So let’s take this up a notch!!
