What to WEAR to Class:

Protective Eyewear: Safety glasses from a hardware store are adequate protection or you can purchase glasses specifically for hot glass at a glass supply outlet.

Close-Toed Shoes:  No sandals or flip flops.

Cotton Clothing Only:  No synthetics.  Some people like to protect their forearms from excess heat simply by wearing long sleeves.  Arm protectors can also be made from cotton socks with the toe end cut off.


What to BRING to Class

Bottled Water.  "Hot Shops" are hot!  You'll need to stay hydrated and will want to drink plenty of water on your way home as well as during class.

Sketchbook and pen/pencil.  Good for taking notes and coming up with your own ideas.

Studio Liability Waiver.  You will need to sign a Studio Liability Waiver before beginning work in the studio.  If you are under 18, a parent/legal guardian must sign one.  The form will be provided.
