Fall in Love with Glass

Discover the magic of glassblowing in our immersive Weekend Workshops, perfect for beginners and hobbyists alike. Over two full days, you’ll explore the fundamentals of working with molten glass while creating stunning projects to take home.

Our structured curriculum begins with studio safety and an introduction to essential tools. From there, you’ll dive into hands-on projects like paperweights, sculptures, and vessels. Working in small groups of three participants per instructor, you’ll take turns collaborating, observing, and receiving personalized guidance. This dynamic learning environment ensures both hands-on practice and a deeper understanding of the craft.

By the end of the weekend, you’ll have created several unique glass pieces, including your own work and a share of the demo pieces crafted during the sessions. It’s an unforgettable introduction to the beauty of glassblowing—one that may spark a lifelong passion.

No prior experience required! Just bring a water bottle, lunch, and your enthusiasm for learning something new.
