Unlock the Art of Glassblowing

Discover a personalized journey into glassblowing with our Private Lessons, designed for individuals, pairs, or small groups of up to three participants. Perfect for beginners eager to explore the basics or experienced students ready to tackle specific projects, these lessons are tailored to your interests and skill level.

Our private lessons offer the opportunity to create stunning pieces such as paperweights, vessels, or sculptures. With one instructor guiding you, larger groups mean slightly less one-on-one time per participant. For maximum learning, we recommend groups of 1–2 participants.

Each session lasts 4 hours, offering a relaxed, hands-on environment to master the fundamentals of working with molten glass, traditional tools, and glassblowing techniques. All materials and safety equipment are provided—just bring a water bottle and your curiosity!

Important Information About Booking Availability

To ensure you have the best experience booking your workshop, please note the following:

Limited Spots Per Session: Our workshops have limited availability for each time slot. While our system allows you to add any number of participants to your cart, the actual availability is confirmed at checkout. If the number of participants is reduced at checkout, it means that the selected time slot has fewer available spaces than you initially added to your cart.

What You Should Know:

  • Adjusted Quantity at Checkout: If the quantity in your cart is lowered during checkout, this indicates that only that many spots are available for the chosen time.

  • Booking Options:
    • Choose Another Time Slot: If your preferred time slot is full, you can book in a different time slot.
    • Split Your Group: You might also consider booking some participants in one time slot and the others in the hour immediately before or after.
