At UrbanGlass Studio, instructors Catarina Cubelo and Nicole Majewski guide six Thursday evenings exploring fusing and slumping with different molds and materials. The listing does not state the calendar year or tuition.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
One technique joins separate pieces of glass; the other lets glass bend into a mold. UrbanGlass pairs those transformations in a six-session beginner course focused on testing how the processes work, not on producing a prescribed finished object.
In fusing, heat bonds separate pieces of glass. In slumping, heat softens glass so it bends over or into a mold. The course introduces both, including work with ceramic and fiber-blanket molds, and invites students to explore materials and less conventional approaches.
That pairing makes the class a process-focused introduction to kilnforming: participants can learn how joining glass differs from shaping it against a form. UrbanGlass describes the possible direction as functional or sculptural, but the class listing does not specify a project or promise that a particular piece will be completed.

Catarina Cubelo is a Brooklyn-based artist whose practice includes text, video, sculpture, drawing and sound. Nicole Majewski, also Brooklyn-based, works across painting, drawing, film, hand-drawn animation and glass; she is an experimental filmmaker as well as an UrbanGlass studio coordinator and teaching assistant.
Their biographies describe work across several media, while the course itself explicitly makes room for experimentation. That combination suits a class where the stated goal is to understand the methods rather than follow a single object from start to finish.

The course listing gives no tuition amount, and current enrollment availability is not stated. UrbanGlass recommends early registration; classes are filled first come, first served, with waitlists for full classes. Registration is primarily through Eventbrite, and the general policy allows sign-ups up to the start of class when places remain. Phone registration is also available, and UrbanGlass lists classes through CourseHorse.
UrbanGlass accepts electronic payments only. Partial scholarships are available for the majority of its classes, so ask whether this course qualifies.

UrbanGlass’s general class guidance says basic materials and supplies are provided. A notebook and water bottle are recommended. If you want to use particular tools or materials that the class does not supply, you are responsible for obtaining them.
Protective eyewear is required throughout the studio and is provided. Wear appropriate work clothes: synthetic or flammable fabrics, sandals and open-toe shoes are not allowed, and long hair must be tied back.
Kilnforming work includes preparing glass for firing and loading or unloading the kiln. Handling glass and tools may require dexterity. A particulate respirator is required when working with fine glass powders or unloading kilns after firing; UrbanGlass says one can be provided if needed.
UrbanGlass describes its facility as ADA compliant and welcomes service animals; it recommends booties because glass particles may be on the floor. Contact the registrar with accommodation questions. These general facility details do not confirm specific arrangements for this class.
