oven life✨@starworksnc #ICYMI 🔥🍻🌟 In our recent Hot Glass Cold Beer event, artists merged intricate pâte de verre botanicals (courtesy of special guest artist @jenfullerstudios) with blown glass pieces from @godspeedglassworks, resulting in a breathtaking sculpture that had our audience buzzing with excitement!

Woodfired mugs, guinomi, yunomi, bowls, teapots and sculptures, seen right after being unloaded from the @studiotouya wood kiln. All of these pieces were made by @takuroshibataceramics and @hitomishibataceramics, and were fired in the pre-conference firing at Studio Touya in advance of @woodfirenc 🔥
We hope you can stop by @studiotouya during the Seagrove Wood Fire Studio Tour, June 7th and 8th!
Thanks again to all the participants who helped out with the firing, to our assistants @alex.olson.arts and @ssomethingaboutmaryy, and to everyone who helped with the unloading the kiln on Sunday!

Spinning wheel! I managed to get over to my favorite place @starworks while still in North Carolina to revamp my Spin-O-Tron centrifugal caster to be motorized. Looking forward to bringing it to the Glass Arts Society conference as a 2026 presenter!
Pencil → Punty 🔥 Your designs become reality this April at Starworks Glass Studio!
If you’re a glass artist tired of just “making pieces” and ready to start making 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 work, this 5-day intensive with Josh Raiffe @raiffeglass is built for you.
From first line on paper to final form in the hot shop, you’ll:
• Develop and refine your own concepts
• Plan builds with intention (gathers, timing, teamwork)
• Translate 2D ideas into strong 3D forms
• Adapt in real time as the glass moves
• Walk away with a clearer personal direction
This is for intermediate glassblowers ready to level up, not just technically, but creatively.
🗓 April 20–24, 2026
📍 Starworks, NC
🏠 Onsite housing available April 19-25
Come ready to problem-solve, experiment, and push your ideas further than ever before.
