Private Lesson - 4 Hour Session

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!
