The Corning Museum of Glass in New York state is offering a great coldworking class (one week), Jan 19-24. Taught by Martin Rosol.
"Using solid blocks of glass, students will learn all aspects of cold working: grinding, polishing, the use of horizontal mill wheels and vertical lathes, and cutting with stone and diamond to create constructions from glass. Students also will learn the HXTAL gluing process to join glass elements. No glassworking experience is required.
Martin Rosol came to the United States from Czechoslovakia in 1986 to pursue a career as a sculptor. He attended the School for Arts and Crafts in Prague and received further training in Czechoslovakia as a cold worker. He lives in Massachusetts, where he maintains a glass studio. His work has been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe."
