Good Afternoon Parents and Guardians,

I'm so incredibly excited to announce two unique Art adventures for our middle and high school students!

Each program is open and available to both middle and high school students. The goal of our Art Adventure program is to provide an opportunity to students who are curious about either woodworking and or glassblowing. Each offering will take students beyond the boundaries of Hoboken providing a more statewide experience that will open the doors of the art world and its unique culture to the students enrolled.

Please see the information below for registration as well as further details regarding dates and times. Students will be picked up and bussed to and from each location from Hoboken Middle School. Students will be self dismissed upon return.

Intro to Glass Art - GlassRoots

Intro to Glass Art is a hands-on learning experience in a glass-art making workshop.

Centered on the beauty and magic of glass-art, students will have the opportunity to create glass beads over a 2000 degree torch in our Flame Shop,  individual glass-mosaics in our Flat Shop, and witness an exciting demonstration of glassblowing in our Hot Shop (when available).

 All projects include an introduction to and practice with glass tools, as well as lessons in basic color and design theory. Unique in the field of visual arts, especially in its use of fire and glass, this multi-dimensional learning experience can activate one or more indicators of engagement in students such as responsiveness, curiosity, investigation, discovery, anticipation, persistence and initiation.
