This is a technique-oriented course with plenty of hands-on instruction using innovations and tools developed by Mr. Stump. The workshop is divided into three parts. “Advanced Murrine” will include color blending, design analysis, shaded components, assembling and pulling cane to produce Franchini-style shaded faces. “Sculptural Techniques” will examine several methods for achieving human and animal sculptural form using cold assembly, hot sculpture, detail overlay, temperature control, tool use, tungsten holes and the application of murrine. “Encasement” will involve creating a floral paperweight.  Floral setups techniques include using blended colors, ribbed cane and overlays as components for creating leaf stock, stems, buds, ball flowers, petals and stamen and then vacuum encasing the setup using the stumpsucker and Schott crystal.

Loren's lampworking stemmed from his work as a stained glass artist for some 20 years. Although he began with beads, Loren's work quickly, competently evolved to include murrini, sculpture, and paper weights. His love of challenge lead him to begin creating his sculptures, which has become his favorite form of glasswork to date. Fellow flameworkers told Loren statues of the magnitude he suggested could not possibly be created in soft glass. Of course, anyone who knows Loren, knows he had to prove them wrong. He succeeded.

With his incredible sense of humor, easy-going personality, and patient teaching technique it's no wonder Loren's student constantly return to learn the next step in glass expertise. His teaching has lead him on travels throughout the world including Japan, Canada and extensively throughout the United States.

Loren's work is currently on display in several renowned museums: The Corning Museum of Glass, the Wheaton Museum, the Eretz Israel Museum and the Kyohei Fujita Glass Museum.
