Percolla Reed ™
*NEW and IMPROVED* We have redesigned the Percolla Reed for a more sleek and put-together look. If you took this class last year, come back and try it again!
The Percolla Reed ™ is an original product and class designed by the founding creators of the Glass Academy. You’ll enjoy your unique handcrafted glass project for years to come as you display it proudly in your home.
During this 1 hour experience (time depends on how many participants are in the class) you will get a behind the scenes look at our glass blowing studio, tour of the gallery, and create a unique keepsake out of molten glass in a safe environment.
The reed is about 4”-5” long with a twisted, wavy, curled, or straight stem. Get creative!
Color is applied in various forms to create designs in or on the surface of the glass. To create the stem, you’ll need to push the molten glass into a mold to form ridges if you want bumps, roll it on the marver if you want it round, or flatten it if you want a new shape. From there, you can twist, pull or stretch the reed to its desired shape giving it character AND style!!
This is an entry level class; no experience working with glass is needed. We supply all the tools, color, and materials to succeed.
You will make one reed per class but can sign up multiple times to make a grouping for your garden or home. Or come back again; our classes are repeatable. You can take the same class more than once. See how your work progresses. Does it become easier? What did you/will you do differently in your next class?
Added perks for you!
Any class you come to and participate in, you’ll get 20% off gallery purchases that night, as well as when you come to pick up your work. Ask for the special coupon when you come to the studio.
