As defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary, a master class is a seminar for advanced music students conducted by a master musician.
We don’t teach music. But we believe being the education crucible for glass art requires us to offer master classes for glass artists. We’ve been offering them for years.
The Melting Point’s master classes are typically multi-day events and may include both the Hot Shop and the Torch Studio. Classes are taught by successful artists in the industry. Names like Astrid Riedel, Kristina Logan, Heather Trimlett, Kim Fields, and Lisa Fletcher, just to name a few.
If you’ve been creating art with glass for a while, make sure you take a course. It’s a time you’ll never forget while learning or honing techniques you’ll use for years to come.
Don’t let opportunities you may never get back go up in flames.
