After a lot of hard work we are finally out of Skostredet and ready for new beginnings at Bontelabo 2. Kilns and furnace are up and running – and ready for new and exciting projects.
These last months Æsa Björk has been working on her upcoming exhibition in Venice, Patricia Sichmanova has been producing work for her solo show in Bratisalva and Julie Kausland from Formbar in Haugesund has visited us to assist Jessie Blackmer on our new and ongoing project with music instruments made of glass. At the beginning of May we will finally start a new series of glassblowing classes.
2nd of May: Glassblowing classes for beginners 18+
This is for the beginning glass blower who is interested in gaining proficiency in the basics of glassblowing. We begin with collecting molten glass from the furnace, using hand tools to shape the glass, and blowing bubbles into the hot glass. We move on from basic skill building to create functional and sculptural works appropriate to the ideas and abilities of the individual students. Class sizes are small, (limited to 3 people) to ensure everyone gets personalized attention and practice time.
Next course: 2. May, 9. May, 16. May and 23. May from 17:00-18:30.
4 weeks: kr 2.380 per person

NB: Our opening hours will continue to be reduced in April as we still have to organize our space and get ready for our opening in May.
