About this Event

This weekend glassblowing class is about learning how to feel like you have more time—how to stop racing the clock and start trusting your process. Through a mix of lecture, discussion, and hands-on time, we’ll explore what it means to show up, stay present, and move with accuracy. It’s about slowing down to unlock speed, and doing things right so they come together with ease.

We’ll shape the weekend around the needs of the group, with space to adjust based on your goals. A pre-class questionnaire will help guide the direction. This isn’t about making the perfect object—it’s about deepening your understanding so that you maximize your time and feel more natural in the process.

What to Expect: Students will work together and learn to manipulate molten glass (2000 degrees). Safety and tools will all be covered in a fun and exciting environment. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm.  Glassblowing involves a variety of activities including sitting, standing, and working with hot glass. The environment can be very hot and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately. Clean-up time is included in the duration of class, and usually the last 20 minutes of class are dedicated to cleaning your workstation. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page.  To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.

Eligibility: This is for intermediate level students, previous glassblowing skills required. Open to ages 14 and up.


Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work. 


We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment. Early registration not only guarantees your spot in class, but also helps to ensure the class will run. Classes with low enrollment may be cancelled within two weeks of the start date of class. Contact our Registrar of Education, Ari Eshoo, at [email protected] if you have questions about the class or would like to arrange a payment plan.
