What Shapes Hue?
During this workshop, we will work in the hot shop on advanced blown and solid sculpture and color applications, including layered powder applications and stuff cups. We will guide you through creating everything from simple, nuanced shapes to elaborate, imaginative forms. Bring your ideas to life as we delve into the “how’s” and “why’s” of achieving your vision. Through personalized instruction during individual blow slots, you’ll refine your techniques and elevate your skills. Whether you’re a beginner, eager to learn, or an experienced glassblower looking to take your craft to the next level, this course will be both educational and a lot of fun.

Drawing inspiration from the organic nature of spontaneity, Jimmy Anderegg makes work that merges the splendor of Venetian glass techniques with a design sensibility for the wild and exotic. His sculpture integrates a laborious layering of colored elements that undergo an equally laborious carving process, creating finished compositions that reveal lively interior and exterior relationships. Jimmy was first introduced to glass in 2001, living and conducting his work in the Seattle metropolitan area ever since.
