What do you get when you mix sand, soda ash, lime, a smattering of other materials and heat?  GLASS!!!!  Originating many years ago in Syria, glass blowing has evolved into a fine craft/art practiced by a few eclectic folks.

Running a hot shop requires 3 types of furnaces.  The crucible kiln keeps the glass molten at all times.  The reheating oven (glory hole) is the reheating oven.  The third oven used is the annealing oven, which allows for controlled cooling of the finished pieces to prevent cracking.  

Sounds hot right?  It is.  In the Fall, Winter, and Spring we work inside, toasty on a cool/cold day.  In the Summer, we work outside in my open-air studio, comfortable even on a 90 degree day!

Come visit us!  Take a class, where you will learn how to shape and blow glass into a final work of art using heat, air, gravity, tools, and a little direction from us.

Classes

Want to experience working with molten glass?  Come take a class.  Make an ornament, cup, or paperweight.  Want more?  Take the basic glass blowing class where you will be intimately involved with coaxing the molten media into a finished product.  All of our classes are great for date night, team building, family fun, or just having a blast with your friends!

Team Building

Working with glass certainly promotes team work.  A small group of folks can work together to make a finished piece, or they can work individually while surrounded by the words of support from their other team members.  Give us a call and we can discuss the many options.
