For over 20 years Master Craftsman Robert Shield has traveled the world demonstrating and teaching the disappearing art of Glass Blowing. He has produced spun glass creations for members of the British Royal Family, the British Ambassador on the Island of Malta and stars and celebrities around the world. Robert reports a renewed interest in the art of Glass Blowing since the remarkable young glass blower Siobhan Magnus, made such an impression on her American Idol journey, exposing the craft for the first time to millions of young Americans. Now resident here in the USA (Las Vegas) Robert is to offer classes in torch work to a limited number of students. Classes will be offered at both basic and advanced levels. Students will be taught one on one, 5 evenings a week initially at the Studio Royal International Academy of Glass Blowing situated at 4375 E. Sahara Ave., Suite 34, Las Vegas NV 89121.

Bookings will open June 1st and classes will commence at the end of June 2010. Full details are available on Studio Royal
