Glass Flameworking - Beginner Series - Paperweights, Pendants, and Marbles

Join us for a fun, hands-on glassblowing class and create your own personalized glass paperweights, pendants, and marbles. These classes will run through June to allow students the flexibility of progressing through each type of piece based on their own schedule and skill level.

Working side-by-side with an experienced glassblower, you'll get an up-close introduction to the mesmerizing art of hot glass. The class begins with a live demonstration showing the full process, followed by your turn to craft your pieces step by step.

You'll learn how to:

  • Apply vibrant colors to molten glass
  • Shape the semi-molten form using traditional tools and techniques
  • Sculpt the glass into the final shape design

Each student creates their own unique paperweights, pendants, and marbles. Finished pieces will be placed in a controlled cooling (annealing) process for safety and durability. Completed pieces will be boxed and available for pickup starting the following Monday after 6:00 PM (or via mail within one week upon request).

Important Details:

Eye protection is provided as needed.

Wear natural fibers like cotton and closed-toe shoes. Avoid loose sleeves.

Classes take place in an open warehouse without HVAC. Please dress accordingly.

Age requirement: Minimum 14 years old.

This beginner-friendly experience requires no prior experience — just bring your creativity and a sense of adventure! Limited spots available — reserve your spot today!
