Learn the Art of Glassblowing which has mystified the world for centuries.

Whether you have always wanted to try glassblowing for the first time or have prior experience; our classes are flexible and will make you feel 'Blown Away'.  No experience necessary!  Ages 7 and up.

"Make Your Own - Glass Experience" provides One-on-One instruction with our highly experienced instructor.  'Glass Experience' is designed with the beginner in mind.  Our unique approach gives you the chance to LEARN the fundamentals of glassblowing.  We will teach you to safely work in the hot glass studio, step-by-step, choose an object from our menu, pick your favorite color, assist you to gather and shape the hot glass and safely learn to use tools to create your own glass object.  By paying by the hour, students can return periodically to build their skillset.  We are committed to bring the art of glassblowing to those eager to learn.

What's New?

  • All "Glass Experiences" are now offered on HALF HOUR and ONE HOUR sessions.
  • Choose 30minutes @ $100 or 60minutes @ $200
  • You DO NOT have to choose what you want to make in order to sign up, but you can get and idead from our 'menu' below.

Your Glass Instructor becomes your glassblowing 'coach'.  Try it again, bring a friend, expand your experience, sign up for another hour and make more pieces to improve your skills.  If you have taken a class with us or any other studio before, this is a great way to try something new and learn to work towards an intermediate or advanced level.
