Fortsättningskurs
During your days with us, you will be able to revise your basic knowledge of working with glass and continue to develop.
The elements included are both theoretical and practical. We will go through, equipment, concepts and terms, but also Kosta glassworks history. A visit to both the Kosta Art Gallery for inspiration and our demonstration workshop to see glassblowing by our masters is planned in the schedule.
In the workshop you will get to practice catching the glass in one of our furnaces, moulding, blowing, sculpting and working with techniques that you want to practice yourself such as pushing and blowing into shape. But then at the end of the week, grind the glass, to then be able to take it home with you.
Below you can see the programme for the week with us in general, where we also expect an hour of lunch every day.
