Soft glass and borosilicate are genuinely different crafts on the same torch. Each has its own progression — from a first class to real skill-building — and neither one is mandatory to enjoy the other.
Soft glass splits into two directions early: shaping plant stakes into sculptural garden pieces, or building bead fundamentals into more advanced beadwork and color reactions.
Borosilicate builds in a straighter line — start with any no-pathway Experience class, move into foundational boro technique, then into more advanced sculptural and color work.
