"We do, in fact, offer weekend workshops and week-long intensives in addition to
our weekly classes. Plus, we have made changes to the curriculum, and have added
a number of new classes, including juried courses and advanced courses in neon,
mosaic and stained glass.
As for places to stay, we have arrangements for special rates at nearby Bed &
Breakfasts and Hotels. We also have an arrangement with Long Island University,
located one block from UrbanGlass, for very affordable air conditioned dormitory
housing in the summer.
Please feel free to contact me or Steven Durow, Education Manager
(education@urbanglass.org), if we
can answer any questions. "

Haystack is a multiple crafts
center (blacksmithing, clay, fibers, metals, wood, writing) on
the coast of Maine that offers one glassblowing class during each
of sessions 3-6. Lino has appeared every year. One
problem with Haystack can be the distance and transportation cost although
flights cost less than the last time I looked [$329.50 RT on Expedia 2009-01]-
plus taxi to Deer Isle.
At April 15th all received applications are reviewed and
placed in classes; later admission is possible.
