Open Studio

We are excited to be launching open studio events! Join us in various studios to continue your learning and practice your glass skills. In each studio, students will receive time to make work or practice skills, a mentor will be present to answer questions and give advice, and materials will be covered in an all inclusive, low-cost fee. This program is designed to assist those who have a basic knowledge in glass, but may want some guidance and access to materials. Create a new project, learn something new, and build community by meeting others who interested in doing the same at Open Studio.

Registration is available to those who have completed a level 1 class or has equivalent knowledge. Students must be 14 years old and up to attend.

Hot Shop Open Studio

Sign up for Open Studio Night for the opportunity to work with others to complete a project of your choice! There will be a mentor present in the studio to answer questions and give tips for new techniques, as well as an assortment of color to experiment with. The goal of this program is to connect glassblowers together, try some new projects out with guidance, and build community. Each artist will receive at least one hour of blow time and is expected to assist their partner(s).

This is a great opportunity for new and intermediate glassblowers to work on skills and connect with other artists and find another glassblowing partner!

The all inclusive fee covers blow time, additional equipment use (torches, garage - for those who have been trained), an assortment of color (frit, bar), and the mentor’s time.

Prerequisite: Completed Glassblowing 1 or equivalent.
