Ballis Glass offers classes in the mesmerizing art of glassblowing, where you can learn to handcraft stunning glass pieces from fire and sand.
Cory Ballis should know. He comes from a family of artists, and throughout his life, he's worked on a lot of different kinds of art."It's just a lot of fun," he says."I like the speed of it. It's really fast. There's no stopping once you start. Once you get the glass at the end of the pipe, it's a whole another thing."
From sculptures to bowls, drinkware to ornaments, each lovingly handcrafted Ballis Glass piece is bathed in rich, vivid colors and exquisite flowing swirls and patterns. Every single piece of glasswork starts as sand and bubbles and hand-mixed colors, and is melted in a fire as hot as lava, then poked, prodded, squeezed, rolled, and slowly and carefully shaped by Ballis and his team.
If the idea of forging your own glass vase or ornament from scratch sounds like fun, you're in luck. For the last seven years, Ballis has been offering classes throughout the year. In his classes, he teaches his students how to handcraft pieces which they can take home for themselves.
