🎥 Demo-Style Class
We’re thrilled to welcome Brian Jacobson to Stoked Studio this July for an exciting two day demo style class focused on fillacellos, sock flips, hollow applications and cold working techniques. Known for his clean execution, precise linework and deep understanding of symmetry and color, Brian has become a standout name in the world of borosilicate art.
🔍 What You’ll Learn:
🔥 Fillacello Fundamentals
Layout, color planning and how to pull tight, even stringers to lay down clean, symmetrical patterns.
🧦 Sock Flips
Full walkthrough of pattern construction, preparation, and flipping — including how to adapt for both solid and hollow applications.
💨 Hollow Application
How to incorporate fillacello and flip sections into hollow work, such as functional pipes and forms.
🧊 Cold Working Techniques
Get a firsthand look at Brian’s cold work process and learn how to refine and finish pieces with clean, professional results.
🧪 Featured Builds
Throughout this immersive class, Brian will demonstrate the complete start-to-finish creation of two cornerstone pieces:
A fillacello pendant, backed with solid color for depth and pop
A Sherlock-style pipe, featuring a sock flip mouthpiece and fillacello bowl section
Each step will be broken down in detail, with open discussion and real-time insights along the way. You’ll gain not only technical understanding but creative inspiration to expand your own designs.
This is a demo-style class, meaning no torches or tools required — just bring your curiosity, your questions and your notebook. Dinner will be provided both nights so we can keep the vibes strong and the energy going. Come connect, learn and get inspired alongside fellow artists and collectors!
