Early Access Flameworking at the Morris Museum
Flameworking Demo for the Public
There is a $3.00 handling fee per ticket.
Saturday, December 16 | 10:00-11:00 AM
Beat the crowds with early access. See live, narrated presentations of glassworking using a 4,000°F torch. Stop by and observe the fascinating process of flameworking in the pavilion before you tour the Museum.
During each presentation, you’ll see the flameworker melt rods and tubes in a flame and then shape the softened glass into any variety of objects, from glass animals and beads to ornaments and sculptures. As they work, the artist will explain what they are doing and offer interesting facts about the art and science of glass.
This series of demos was inspired by the breathtaking exhibition, From Flame to Flower: The Art of Paul J. Stankard. Stop by and observe the fascinating process of flameworking in the pavilion before you tour the exhibition.
