Blown Glass (Lampworking) Marble Making Experience with Mike Hurst of Hurst’s Handblown Glass
What:
Have you ever had the desire to try heating and manipulating hot glass? If so, you aren’t alone. Here is your chance. Lampworking is a type of glassblowing using a propane and oxygen fueled torch to safely heat and manipulate glass. When proper safety measures are taken, lampworking is a very safe and fun thing to do. All materials and equipment will be provided. Please read entire description to know what to expect. The glass used for this experience is borosilicate or “Pyrex” as it is commonly known.
Ages 14 & up.
Please note- We will only be making the items the class is designated for. Please don’t ask to make other things, as we will ONLY be making marbles in this experience. The “experiences” offered are not designed to be ongoing and progressive classes. They are simply offered due to the overwhelming requests for people wanting to try it out. If you sign up for more than one class we will be making the same thing. Due to space and equipment limitations this is limited to 4 participants at a time. This allows for more instruction for each participant. Thanks for your understanding.

About the instructor:
Mike Hurst is an Ogden, Utah based lampworker who specializes in pendants, marbles, Christmas Ornaments and more. He began working with glass in January of 1994. Since that time he has passionately studied and practiced the art, always striving to perfect his techniques and learn something new. In addition to lampworking, Mike has experience with glass fusing, glass etching and neon sign making.
Mike’s work is inspired by nature’s beauty, pop culture, the strange and macabre. Halloween and Christmas are his favorite holidays, which is noticeable in his work. His Christmas ornaments, octopuses and evil eye jewelry have become some of his most popular items and his signature pieces.
Mike has been featured in Glassline magazine and several local publications. He and his work will be featured in the 2020 Lifetime Christmas movie “The Christmas Edition” starring Marie Osmond, Carly Hughes, Rob Mayes and Aloma Wright. He sells his work online, locally at The Local Artisan Collective (2371 Kiesel Ave Ogden, UT), at galleries and arts festivals.
