Workshop Registration
Stephen Peirce
"Drinkware with Steve"
Flameworking/Latheworking
June 17 - 21, 2024 (5-day workshop)
This class will explore the drinkware process from start to finish. We will make color tubing from rod with an overall focus on hollow work. Expect to learn both fundamental and advanced flame and lathe-working techniques. Bring your questions, and let's make some cups!
This class meets from 9am to 5pm each day, Monday through Friday, with additional studio time Monday through Thursday, from 5pm to 9pm. Materials for participating in the course are included. If you have specific colors you are interested in working with please bring them with you.
Stephan Peirce is a stay at home flame worker, with 18 years of glass-blowing experience, 13 years on the lathe. He's a family man just outside of Austin, Texas, with two kids, a tolerant wife, and a backyard farm. Self taught, Stephan enjoys making functional glassware.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I create functional glass art that is meant to be interacted with on a daily basis. Whether drinkware or smokeware, these pieces are designed to marry form and function, and feel great in the hand. I am constantly experimenting with new processes to achieve my goals, and I love exploring tools and finding new ways to improve my craft.
