Art Glass Classes

Closed-toe shoes are required. We provide safety googles and gloves. Eye glasses may be worn under our safety googles. Cotton clothing (or other natural fibers) are recommended; synthetic materials become quite uncomfortable due to the heat of the furnaces. ​ We suggest wearing layers, including a sweater or light jacket, to classes during the winter months. In summer, shorts help with the heat.

Open mind and a sense of creativity! Water bottle; please stay hydrated—especially during the summer. We also have a water cooler at both locations for refills. Optional: a camera or phone to capture your experience.

If you have more questions about the accessibility of our studio, or have a disability, please give us a call or email us! We will be happy to discuss the accessibility of our studio and try our best to accommodate you within our safety requirements.

Children are welcome. Children 6-11 may make the holiday ball or molded heart class if parents are present. Children 12 and above have access to all three tiers of classes and in some cases, the jellyfish class as well.

We have organized our classes into tiers based on the skill level required and the size of the products. You select and pay for your desired tier during checkout. On the day of your class, you will have the option to update your tier if desired. Examples of each project are available in the studio to help you make an informed decision. Please email us at our Contact Page to book a Jelly Fish Class.

Your project will need 24–48 hours to cool to room temperature, so you will not be able to take your item home immediately after class. We will ship your glass project directly to your home during the week following your class or you can come back to the studio for pick up.

Our courses are referred to as "experiences" as they provide you with the chance to engage with molten glass, without the intention of training you as a skilled glassblower or enabling you to craft intricate pieces. These experiences are enjoyable and thrilling, offering ample learning opportunities. It's important to note that we exclusively offer entry-level classes. Our instructors are trained to assist you in creating your glass item and know when and how to support you. We have found that the student's skill level can affect the outcome, so we strive to help you create something you love. If you want more shaping involvement, just let the instructor know. Our classes are suitable for all skill levels and repeatable, allowing you to learn and gain more shaping experience over time.

Yes! We welcome those not in the class to stay and watch the experience like a glass blowing demo.
