CLASS EXPERIENCE: Mother's Day: YOU Design it ~ WE make it!

Celebrate Mother's Day in Style!

Join us at the Glass Academy for an experience of hot glass and functional glassware! In this class workshop you will design your own wine glass, then sit back & watch as our expert glass artists bring your design to life! A special wine glass made just for Mom makes the perfect Mother's Day gift!

Once the style and design are sketched out with chalk on the hot shop floor, the mesmerizing glassblowing process begins. Get your camera ready; you'll be in the hot seat, directing as you witness our master craftsmen bring your one-of-a-kind drinking vessel to life before your very eyes. It's a truly magical experience that Mom will cherish forever!

Why not treat Mom (or yourself, Auntie, Daughter, etc.) to a unique and memorable Mother's Day gift you'll never forget!  Feel free to bring your own beverages and snacks to enjoy during your class - it's BYOB friendly!

We start at 5pm for an evening of glass blowing fun that typically lasts around 3 hours.  The small class size gives us ample time to make everyone's wine glass and most likely you'll want to stay for the full 3 hours to watch everyone's masterpiece come to life!


Discover your perfect drinking vessel at our Exclusive Mother's Day workshop! For $187 per person, each ticket includes:

ONE personalized wine glass designed by YOU! Explore options to upgrade your design with stems, 3D elements, and more during the creative process.  Pick your colors from the gallery, and allow us to help you mix and match for the perfect look!

A behind-the-scenes tour of our art gallery and glass production hot shop, exclusive class discounts, entry to gallery contests, and more.

Everyone will need a ticket to attend. If you would like to bring a guest OR if you want to join the class from the "audience" instead, we offer a $12 guest ticket. Please put the date and time of your class in the notes.

We ask that you arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork, meet fellow students, and explore our gallery for inspiration.
