Glass Flameworking - Pendants - Private Event

Join us for a fun, hands-on glassblowing class and create your own personalized glass pendants. Students are welcome to bring other design ideas to the class. Coordinate these design ideas two weeks before class to reserve any specific colors, tools, etc.

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 piece step by step. Design ideas are welcome!

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 a beautiful heart design (pendant or paperweight) or marble

Each student creates their own unique pendants... making it a perfect gift, keepsake, or special treat for yourself. Your finished piece 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 5:00 PM (or via mail within one week).

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.
