Make a Paperweight
In this 45 minute hot shop experience, you will assist the gaffer in making a solid form paperweight. You will be instructed on safe handling and briefed on the procedure. The gaffer will “gather” molten glass from the furnace, and bring the punty to you at the marver. You will then roll the “gather” in the coloured frits selected. The gaffer will “reheat” at the glory hole. You will manipulate the hot glass into your chosen design, and the gaffer will make the final “gather” and shape it. Your paperweight may be picked up the following day.
