Our Intro to Glassblowing Class is a series of two-hour classes where you will learn the fundamentals of glassblowing and experience the real magic of hot glass.
This series of personalized classes will take you through safety, learning to gather from the furnace, mounting and working at the bench, and using essential glassblowing tools. You will be learning the fundamental skills that you will use whenever you blow glass for the rest of your life! You will make simple projects in clear glass, which will include a caterpillar, flowers, an ornament, an implosion bowl, a cup, a cup with a handle, and a 7-inch cylinder. What you end up with is your creation, not something made by the instructor. Completing this introductory series will likely require six to eight individual classes. After completing this series, you can rent time in the studio or continue on with instruction.
To blow glass well takes a lot of practice, building muscle memory, and getting used to the studio environment. You will learn about equipment, working temperatures, and the importance of cooling glass slowly.
Everyone who makes glass with us must read and sign our online safety waiver. Please be sure to add attendee emails to your guest list.
If participants are under the age of 18, the safety waiver must be read and signed by their parent or legal guardian with the child’s name as the participant.
