WLU’s partnership with Oglebay Institute leads to a new course offering

West Liberty is teaming up with Oglebay Institute to offer courses in glassblowing. Starting with the Fall 2010 semester WLU art students will be able to take 8-week classes in introductory glassblowing with an Advanced Glassblowing class following in the spring. The 3 credit class is an opportunity for students to work in an outstanding facility with trained craftsman and expand their art making experiences.
