Safety Measures and Participation Guidelines

To ensure a safe environment for all participants, SiNaCa Studios has implemented several health measures, which can be reviewed on their website’s FAQ section. First-time attendees are required to complete a Risk and Release form, which can either be downloaded in advance or filled out on-site during check-in. It is essential for all participants to have this form on file before engaging in any activities.

The workshops are designed to introduce participants to the art of working with glass in various states. During glass blowing, participants will handle molten glass at temperatures exceeding 2100°F. They will gather glass from the furnace, shape it using specialized tools, and apply colors as desired.

In flame working, attendees will work with colored and clear glass rods in front of a gas-fueled torch, shaping their items through melting and manipulation. The studio offers two types of glass: a soft soda-lime glass primarily used for bead making and a harder borosilicate glass suitable for more intricate designs.

Kiln forming sessions involve cutting and layering sheet glass with frit and stringers. Once participants design their pieces, the assembled work is placed in an electric kiln, where it undergoes a 12-hour firing cycle to fuse the layers together. SiNaCa Studios exclusively utilizes Bullseye Glass (90 COE) in its kiln forming studio, ensuring high-quality materials for all creations.

SiNaCa Studios invites individuals and families to experience the joy of crafting with glass. With numerous workshops available throughout the year, this event serves as a perfect introduction to the world of glass art.
