CLASS EXPERIENCE: 100% Hands-on Private Class

100% Hands On

Experience the thrill of glass blowing firsthand with our hands-on experience for two people that will leave you #blownaway!

During this two-hour-long workshop, you and your partner will take center stage as our hotshop transforms into your own exclusive studio!! Take this opportunity to collaborate with a skilled glassblowing instructor and immerse yourself in the craft of glassblowing within a safe and educational environment.

No need to worry about materials or equipment—we've got you covered. We supply everything you need, including glass, top notch tools and all the major equipment in our state of the art studio.

The class is divided into two parts, each offering a unique experience. In the first half, you and your partner will have the opportunity to work individually, exploring the tools, playing with the molten glass, and creating your own mini sculptures. This segment of the class is flexible and can be tailored to your preferences, providing ample room for you to continue working with techniques that inspire you.

Note: This class is designed to emphasize the foreign and difficult nature of the material. Expect to make failures and to learn from your mistakes, you will leave with a completely different perspective of glass! For this reason and many reasons regarding the difficulty of working with color, we will use either clear or recycle blue glass. Colors add a tricky next level to the glass process, ask your instructor about it! 

During the second half of the class, the spotlight shifts to the collaborative process of creating your first vessel. Working side by side with your partner, our skilled instructor will provide insights and guidance, enriching your understanding of the glassblowing process. As you navigate the process together, you will encounter the captivating uncertainty that comes with working with glass— your creation may turn out perfectly or take an unexpected turn. Embracing the unpredictable nature of glasswork is all part of its intrinsic beauty and allure.

With determination and aptitude, you might even craft a fully functional drinking glass. It's entirely up to you, and the level of skill and ambition you bring to the table. So why wait? Sign up now and prepare for an extraordinary adventure in the captivating art of glass blowing!
