FLOWER AND BUTTERFLY MARBLES
Sabina Boehm $150 + $15 material fee (non-refundable)
October 23, Sat (10am- 5pm)
In this one-day class students will explore two variations of one marble making technique; the compression technique, used for making flowers and butterflies. This class will focus on a fundamental understanding of core heat and there will be some discussion on the mastery of striking and on knowing your flame. Intermediate to advanced flame workers will make the most progress in this class, but it’s open to anyone with basic flameworking knowledge. Students will be encouraged to work at their own levels.
All levels are welcome but students should be comfortable working with rods.

SABINA BOEHM ’s talent has always drawn her to the arts. In Seattle in 1994, as the Borosilicate art glass movement gained momentum, she fell into an apprenticeship. She spent those first few years trying to gain knowledge wherever she could, via classes and networking, then starting a cooperative glass studio in the late 1990’s. Later she worked for Momka’s Glass Company, testing color for the glass chemist, which gave her an insightful knowledge of glass. This medium has great feminine appeal to her, and the meditative creation process has kept her blowing for the past 14 years. Winning the very prestigious Eugene Glass School FlameOff in 2005 and 2006, in the Marble category, has definitely given her the encouragement she’s needed to continue to pursue her love for the art. Recently she has broadened her horizons to include figurative and sculptural work. She’s spent a great deal of time as of late teaching and doing live demonstrations at venues such as the Glass Museum in Tacoma. You can find her work published in various magazines and all over the web.
