Refine and diverge from the standard cup and bowl shape in the first few weeks before moving on to more complex forms. Explore basic color application methods and learn how to troubleshoot common problems. It is recommended that all students take this class a second time in order to continue to develop and refine basic skills before moving on to Hot 3. 2 free (1 hour) rental sessions per student are included with tuition to Hot Glass 2.

Using rental session(s) contributes to final grade for CMU students. Students must attend at least one rental session (in addition to their 8 classes) to receive an A in this course. Studio rental is scheduled based around student schedule and studio availability Hot I, 24 hours of hot shop experience, or instructor permission is required.
