Hi everyone,
We're delighted to welcome Nancy Tobey to our studio for what will definitely be a fun, day-long, jam-packed workshop of Boro Techniques! Nancy's focus will be on the color development! Oh, those very special, eye-popping colors!! -- not to be missed!!!

--please call to reserve your space.
Also, please note that the Farnsworth Art Museum's 'Glass Show' will be running at this time. It features Haystack and Pilchuck instructors who have Maine connections. On Sat.

To register: Call, email or snail-mail. Payment in full for the workshop is required to hold your space. We accept personal checks, and credit cards.
Playing with Fire! - Glassworks & Gallery is a state-of-the-art studio/teaching facility and gallery. After the planning, and building of a lot of infrastructure, we're happy to be offering classes and workshops in a great, well-outfitted studio space (13' ceilings, very comfortable and roomy)— the building is on Main Street in Rockland, just before the Ferry Terminal. The studio is located at the lower level/harborside of the building, and is, conveniently, right in the historic downtown area with shops, galleries, restaurants/lodging, the harbor, the new Lighthouse Museum, the Wyeth Center, and the Farnsworth Art Museum... all nearby.
The studio has 9 flameworking positions for instruction in both soft and hard glass with duel-fuel torches. Each position has quick disconnects to interchange a variety of torches, and easy access to several annealers. You may bring your own favorite torch if you so choose! Our fuel sources are: tanked Liquid Oxygen, and a 1000lb Liquid Propane tank. We have an exciting line-up of teachers and workshops planned for the coming year, as well as open-torch time! We also have a glass furnace (electric/Moly-D, 300 lb pot capacity) in the studio-which should go online this fall. We have electroforming set-up, as well as a sand blasting station.
