Member Flameworking Demo
Free Flameworking Demo for Museum Members
Member Only Event
Friday, December 15 | 10:00 – 11:00 AM
Museum Members are invited to see a free live, narrated presentations of glassworking using a 4,000°F torch. Work sessions occur throughout the day on a walk-through basis in the pavilion entrance. Stop by and observe the fascinating process of flameworking as 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.
