Murrini noun (singular: murrina) are colored patterns or images made in a glass cane that are revealed when the cane is cut into thin cross-sections. In this fun filled, 2 day workshop you will learn how to pull cane from which you will cut murrini. You will then arrange those murrini into a form that will then be fused into a blank. That blank may later be slumped or ‘drop’ out molded into whatever finished piece you would like. During day 1 (3 hours) you will cut glass circles to fit a pot from which you will pull molten glass to form your canes. On day 2 (4 hours) you pull those canes then cut them into murrini. Then you will place those murrini into a form which will be fused that evening. If you are a current student you may pick up your blank during your next class to finish cold work and slumping in class. If you are not a current student, you may pick up your blank for finishing at home, or choose the optional 3rd day (3 hours) to cold work and finish your piece in our studio.
