You design it, we make it!

Glassblowing is complicated, let us do the hard work. While you relax and enjoy yourself, our team of talented glassblowers will bring your design to life.

The event starts at 5pm and typically lasts around 3 hours, but may run longer, depending on the number of students in attendance. We kindly ask that you arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork, meet the other students, and (if you would like to) browse the gallery. Although the individual experience for each student involves around 30-40 minutes of design input and creation, we warmly invite you to stay and witness the mesmerizing artistry of your fellow participants. However, we understand that time is precious, so feel free to leave after your design has been conveyed to the glassblower. If you have a strict timeline, kindly inform your class host, as we are committed to ensuring your experience aligns seamlessly with your schedule.

We offer a $12 guest ticket, if you'd like to bring a guest OR if you want to join the class from the "audience". Everyone in attendance MUST purchase a class or guest ticket. This allows us to prepare the space accordingly. Please put the day and date of your class in the notes section at the checkout.

This experience starts with a tour of our glass studio and BATCH Gallery, to educate you on the many styles and shapes of glassware that can be made during your evening class

During the tour, you will draw inspiration for your design from styles and samples showcased in the gallery. Our talented staff can assist you with suggestions and upgrades to make your glass drinkware truly unique and original to you! 

What will we make for you? 

YOUR perfect drinking vessel can be any one of the following items:
This is per person, per one paid ticket of $187.

  • One beer mug
  • One wine goblet ( or variation thereof)
  • One snifter
  • Two simple wine tumblers of the same shape/size/color pattern (upcharge)*

*At our Happy Hour Class, we've crafted an experience tailored to unleash your creativity and explore the boundless possibilities of artistic expression. In the spirit of individuality, we invite you to design a truly unique masterpiece alongside our skilled artist. To enhance your experience further, we offer the option of creating a second item for an additional charge, provided it follows the same design as your first creation. To ensure that everyone has ample time for their unique projects, the crafting of the second item will take place at the end of the class.  We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in making this a seamless and enjoyable journey for all participants.

You will design the basics: size (ounces), shape, colors, patterns/designs in the glass, and handle/foot/stem, if desired. (Please note, Some features are only available as upgrades)

Once the style and design are drawn out with chalk on the hot shop floor, the glassblowing begins! Get your camera ready; you'll be in the hot seat, directing as you watch our master craftsmen bring your one-of-a-kind drinking vessel to life before your eyes. A truly magical experience!

Happy Hour is the perfect gift for anyone (including yourself)! Up your celebrations with this memorable experience - ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, and girls'/guys'/friends' night out!  Thank you for making us a part of your  artistic adventure!

*Please note:  The glass must cool from 1200°F to room temperature after crafting. 48 hours after your class, your project will be shipped directly to you (for free)! Or you may come pick your item up from our studio during our studio hours.  

Closed-toed shoes are required and we suggest that you wear cotton, as it will be hot in the shop.

B.Y.O.B is an option :) or bring food and friends

We have a selection of soft drinks available for purchase in the studio but you are welcome to bring your own beverages and refreshments.
