Educational Tours

Group TourFor $200, we offer a 1.5 hour Glassblowing demonstration (lecture and presentation) for groups up to 30. For larger groups we can do two sessions back to back with lunch in between.

This tour is designed for the group that would like to be entertained. After a tour of the studio and all the classroom spaces, participants will relax in comfort as we design and craft a piece of blown glass before the group. Artists will talk about the process, give a lecture on the history of glass and glassblowing, and answer all questions.

Each tour ends with the participants receiving a 10% discount coupon to use in the Gallery that day.

Here's a sample of the types of groups that have toured the studio:

  • Scouting groups
  • Red Hat Ladies
  • Schools
  • Clubs and Organizations
  • Science groups
  • MENSA
  • IIDA
  • Dow Automotive
  • Church groups
