We are here to provide you a wide variety of fun project based and educations technical workshops from local and nationally known teaching artists.  In addition to the fundamentals of kiln formed glass, we are always looking for new and innovative techniques to make your glass “sing”.

• Students will be asked to sign a liability release before the workshop.
• You may bring your own safety glasses or use one of our classroom loaners at the studio.
• Please wear comfortable clothing (preferably non-synthetic), long pants (to the ankle), and closed-toe and closed-heel shoes.
• Bring a notebook and pen/pencil for taking notes or sketching during class.
• Not often and very rarely some projects may fail.  If we have the time and resources, we may offer additional opportunities at no cost to you to redo your piece.
• And most important – HAVE FUN!
