The non-credit course, Borosilicate: Introduction, features instructor Lea Pellegrini, who will demonstrate studio safety, proper use of a torch and basic forming techniques. Projects will include introduction to sculptures. Borosilicate is a type of glass that can withstand high temperatures. It is used in Pyrex products.
