at all levels by the talented instructors who teach at our state-of-the-art facility.
In the fall, we offer classes on weekends and in the evenings, perfect for those
who want to explore glassmaking without making an intense commitment.
Techniques range from glassblowing, flameworking, fusing, and stained glass
to mosaics, photosandblasting, and even Precious Metal Clay with glass.
If you are looking for a more in-depth experience, please join us for one of our
one-week intensive classes in the winter with famous instructors who come from
around the world. This year, we are offering classes in a variety of techniques,
including glassblowing, sculpting, kiln working, casting, flameworking, engraving,

While you’re here, we invite you to spend some time experiencing the Museum’s
Rakow Research Library. The Rakow Research Library houses the world’s most
comprehensive collection of materials on the art and history of glass and glassmaking.
Research glass formulae, view contemporary artist videos, and more.
As you work to create objects of beauty, enjoy free Museum admission to explore
the world’s best collection of glass. This fall, special exhibitions include a focus
show on Toots Zynsky’s work, and exhibits on Harvey K. Littleton and Dominick
Labino to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the American Studio Glass movement.

This class will focus on taking the basics
of glassblowing (cone, sphere, cylinder,

them quick and easy. The overall objective
will be to make as many forms as
possible while maintaining consistency.
The principals of glassblowing become
clear and comprehensible when students
understand the traditional vessel-making
framework. Vessel making, as a form of
exercise, will strengthen the way students
approach projects at the bench. One year
of glassblowing experience is required.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS AND
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Through our scholarship programs, we support
developing glass artists and students. You may
donate to any of the funds listed here to give
an emerging artist working in glass the opportunity
to study with the best at The Studio.
By contributing to one of our scholarship programs,
you are not only supporting promising
artists who may not otherwise be able to afford
to develop their skills, but you are also investing
in the future of the glass community.
The Studio Scholarship and Residency Fund
is supported by the sale of glass works donated
by instructors, staff, and students over
the course of the year; by the Celebrity Cruises
Glassmaking Scholarship Fund; and by private
grants and other contributions. The fund
provides general summer scholarships and
also is used to support our Artist-in-Residence
program.
The Paul and Patricia Stankard Flameworking
Scholarship Fund, created with the support
of friends of Paul and Patricia Stankard and
collectors of Paul’s work, is earmarked for the
support of one developing flameworking artist
each summer.
The Christopher John Kammerer Memorial
Scholarship Fund was founded by the friends
and family of the late Christopher John Kammerer.
It aims to support promising, young,
regional artists and is available for courses that
meet over our spring and fall semesters.
The Silver Trout Fund was founded by Sue
Schwartz in memory of her husband Tom,
who worked at Corning Incorporated for
many years. It supports the Artist-in-Residence
program.
The Elio Quarisa Scholarship Fund has been
established to support furnace glassworkers
who shared Mr. Quarisa’s passion for Venetian
glassblowing.
The Celebrity Cruises Glassmaking Scholarship
Fund is made possible by the collaboration
between Celebrity Cruises and The
Corning Museum of Glass. The Museum is
demonstrating glassblowing at sea on Celebrity
Cruises. At the end of selected cruises, some of
the best pieces made during hot glass demonstrations
are auctioned. The proceeds benefit a
scholarship fund to help developing artists and
students who want to work in glass, allowing
them to take classes or work as resident artists.
