We are delighted to introduce our third & final course with guest lampworking artist Guido Adam from Germany. He creates magical borosilicate objects which push the technical boundaries of colour and form and creativity. Adam has been working in soft and hard glass since 2002 using traditional techniques derived from his studies in Murano, the States and Japan. This class will teach you so much about sculptural practices in borosilicate glass.
In this course Adam explores how to make multiple types of animal eye murrine, a Kraken in leg stages & from 2D to 3D. Adam gifts the secrets of how to fashion solid AND blown froggers and hot sculpted dragon pendants with blocky filigrana cane bails plus much more besides.

This E-course is a stand-alone course which is complimented by both Guido 1: Beauty of the Wearable Art Kingdom & Guido 2: Beauty of the Chaos Marble Kingdom courses. Our Guido Adam 3 course will push your skill level, help you understand difficult sculptural techniques and give you confidence in your own glass making abilities whilst empowering you to own your creativity.
