Advanced Class:​
Complex Assemblies & Precision Vessel Work

Borosilicate Glass | Lathe Techniques | Follow-Up Intensive
Class Size: Max 1 student
​
Take your lathe skills further in this advanced follow-up class at Sage Studios, where you'll expand your knowledge of lathe-based borosilicate glasswork through more complex multi-part assemblies and refined vessel shaping techniques.
This class is designed for students who already have experience with lathe forming and blowing and are ready to dive into more advanced projects like reinforced joints, long-section tubing work, precision seals, and multi-stage assembly methods.
What you’ll learn:

• Assembling multi-section forms with precision
• Seals, bridges, and necking
• Advanced flaring and shaping techniques
• Working with tubes and angles
• Creating function-forward or display-quality vessels
• Strategies for minimizing distortion and stress
• Annealing considerations for larger and multi-part work

This class is ideal for students looking to produce complex blown forms, custom vessels, or prepare for future work in scientific, functional, or artistic production.​
​
Class Length: About 3.5 hours
Ages: 18+ 
Prerequisite: Advanced borosilicate experience (confident with precision torchwork and handling heat-sensitive joins)​

Classes are held on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
