Each student will understand how and when to use each piece of equipment in a safe and efficient manner. Cutting, grinding, and ultimately polishing glass work will be accomplished! Beyond basic understanding of cold working processes, this class will provide a strong foundation for further exploration into more advanced cold working techniques.
