Glassblowing takes coordination. Glass fusing takes patience. Our combo teambuild gives your group both. Half the team heads to the hot shop to shape paperweights over open flame, while the other half designs a mural or individual piece from cut and layered sheet glass in the warm shop — then everyone switches. Four hours, two new glass techniques! Together it's a full day of hands-on collaboration, and nobody leaves without a story to tell.

You’ve all been waiting patiently. We are excited to announce our demo artists for Hot Glass Cold B**r on October 3 are Bryan Goldenberg in the hotshot and Dan Wu in the flame shop.

About the artists:
Dan Wu (Stromboli Glass) is a lampworker based in the San Francisco Bay Area specializing in borosilicate pendants and sculpture. Drawing inspiration from pop culture, his work focuses on various characters from cartoons and video games. “My work focuses mainly on pendants and sculptures. I'm inspired by cartoons, video games, and pop culture — the characters we recognize from childhood. I like taking images we all recognize and translating them into something handmade.” - Dan Wu

Originally from St. Louis, Bryan moved to Oakland, CA and earned a BFA in glass concentration from California College of Arts & Crafts in 2002.

Brian has Blown glass with widely renowned glass artists such as Dante Marioni, Lino Tagliapietra, Hank Adams, and Clifford Rainey.
In 2006, He designed and built Slow Burn Glass, a studio in Oakland, California where he created his work until July 2018. Slow Burn Glass then expanded into a 5000-square-foot facility in Richmond, CA. where Bryan has excelled in many forms and styles which feature clean lines and superior craftsmanship. Using His past experiences to influence these styles, brian has dedicated time to developing his own colors that transform into one-of-a-kind works of art.

In this exploratory 4 week stained glass course to we will combine glass from other glass disciplines, 3D stained glass sculpture, and basic soldering skills to merge interests from multiple glass styles into one project. Take your pile of glass scraps — cane, shards, rondels, cast-offs — and learn how to reuse it to make unique stained glass art. Glassblowers, flame workers, mosaic artists, fusers, and total beginners are all welcome — no experience necessary. Bring in glass you already love working with (any COE works!) and our instructor will help you turn it into a proposal, then guide you through soldering, cold working, wire wrapping, and fusing to bring it to life.

Last day to donate!

Every contribution supports hands-on learning, scholarships, and the programs that make this rare art form accessible to more people.

This year, we’re collaborating with artists and educators to merge art and STEM, focusing on alchemy and physics in glassmaking, engineering in sculptural processes, contemporary mold-making, and emerging technologies. NEAT!!

Your support opens the door for Bay Area creatives to expand access, strengthen our curriculum, and sustain the studio resources that make this work possible.
