Borosilicate: Clear Glass Floral Bouquet
By observing nature from fossils and remnants of the past, we'll be working to create glass elements that evoke fossils using a contemporary approach. Crafting a glass flower is an act of preserving nature's beauty, of freezing a moment in time. Glass flowers have long been cherished in both art and science - this is an opportunity to learn how to craft these iconic pieces.
