Class is in session!!!

I will be coming to the West Highland neighborhood in Denver, Colorado to host a 2-day glass faceting class on December 13th and 14th. This will be a ticketed class catering towards beginner-to-intermediate faceters, hosted at a private glassblowing studio. My class is a fully immersive, hands on workshop that outlines everything necessary to confidently grasp the art of faceting from a beginner's standpoint. *Limited to 8 seats to ensure maximum learning opportunities* Tuition is $650 for the two days (12p-8pm) and includes a catered dinner both nights.  Fill out a form below if you want to be screened for class compatibility. This will allow us to have all your unanswered questions resolved to figure out if this is the right opportunity for you. Tickets can be purchased at the very bottom of this page.

Some topics covered in this class include, but are not limited to:​​

​

In this two day class, I will walk you through all of the proper steps necessary to masterfully facet your glass with ease. There will be hands-on faceting opportunities for students in the class as well as 1-on-1 feedback sessions where students can receive constructive criticism on their work. Glass can be provided for student faceting, or you can bring your own small piece to facet (pref. under 30mm).
