The Craft of Glass Blowing
In the World of Arts and Crafts There Are Few that Compare with the Art of Glass Blowing
Master Robert Shield is one such craftsman! Now resident in the entertainment capitol of the world, Las Vegas Nevada, Robert has just announced the opening of his Studio Royal International Academy of Glass Blowing. Located at 4375 E. Sahara Ave, Suite 34, Las Vegas NV 89121; it is centrally located for most residential districts and just east of the world famous strip. Robert visited the USA from his then residence of Australia in the early 90's and spent a few months teaching at this very same location! Since that time he has demonstrated his craft and unique skills around the world including China, Spain, Ireland, England, Malta and Australia.
Master Robert has produced spun glass pieces for such celebrities as the British Royal Family, The British Ambassador to Malta, and several local Las Vegas stars both past and present.
All Robert's students are taught one on one, and classes are conducted in the early evening. The basic course lasts just over 12 weeks and teaches the basic skills necessary to produce sale-able items of jewelry and solid and spun glass artistic pieces. The cost is just under $1,000.00, which includes all materials and personal tools, and students get to keep all the items they create. Students may choose to pay as they go, using Studio Royals no interest payment plan.
Master Robert also offers an Advanced class that teaches the art of Glass Blowing, including small vases, port sippers, and Robert's signature piece - beautiful hollow Swans! Students must have completed the Basic course before undertaking the Advance level
Open houses are planned where prospective students may attend a demonstration and brief introduction, twice a month and anyone interested should ring and make an appointment as seating is limited to 6 guests, and is by invitation only. Robert can be reached in Las Vegas at (702) 465 5114; or at (702) 4455080 to which number all media inquiries should be directed.
