The Clear Class is a live streamed online class offered periodically throughout the year.

In this one day class, six students are invited to join an interactive webinar style demonstration of a recycler build from start to finish. At least one year of flameworking experience is recommended; this is not an experts-only class.

This is a live demonstration with opportunities for discussion and questions throughout the day. Demonstrations will be done by hand on the bench and also on the lathe. Techniques demonstrated on the lathe can be transferred to the bench. 

Every detail of the process will be discussed and demonstrated including: design, prepwork, component shaping, various seals, percs, assembly, making factory quality ground joints without a joint forming tool, cleanup, preventing and repairing mistakes, finishing and annealing. 

There will be a strong focus on learning how to work smart to avoid pieces cracking as well doing clean welds and producing first quality shaping with consistent wall weights.

Students are strongly encouraged to ask questions and to take notes during class.
