About this Event

In this class students will learn the fundamentals and gain understanding of this magical craft of glass blowing. During this class students will learn how to gather, manipulate and shape this molten material by first making a solid object such as a paper weight and then students will learn how to manipulate and create simple and functional hollow objects by learning how to blow and shape the “bubble”.

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. As this is a drill based class, do not expect to create complete works. 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. 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: No previous experience necessary. Open to ages 14 and up.

Pick-up: As this is a drill based class, do not expect to create complete works that would need to be picked up.

This is an in-person class taking place on-site at UrbanGlass. Health and safety guidelines will be emailed to you upon registration.

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.
