Are you a flameworker ready to take your skills to the next level? The Petroglyphic Goblet Virtual Demonstration with Bandhu Scott Dunham the writer of the world famous ‘Contemporary Lampworking’ books, is your fun and accessible pathway into the precision world of goblet making!
 
This session is designed for glass artists who have struggled with pulling points or have found goblet construction daunting. Bandhu’s expert guidance demystifies the process, focusing on the critical details that make all the difference—like selecting the ideal wall thickness for even glass blowing, straightening points, and using a counterweighted punty for heavier pieces and opening goblet feet.
 
You’ll see every step up close: from connecting the punty and flaring the foot with centrifugal force, to using a roller for flawless alignment. Decorative elements and foot adjustments are demonstrated with clarity, making complex techniques approachable and enjoyable.
 
Join us for a demonstration that blends technique, creativity, and tradition—showing that precision goblet making can be both achievable and fun. Discover how purposeful movements and expert tips can transform your flameworking practice and open new creative possibilities.
