*STUDENTS MUST BE 14 YEARS OR OLDER TO PARTICIPATE.*
Here is what we have for our experienced students...
~please note that a one-day workshop will not qualify you for the skill level needed for the classes below~
The terms "experienced beginner", "advanced beginner", and "intermediate/ advanced" are subjective and tend to change with our evolving student body. All of the classes below are for experienced students only. If you are joining us with experience from a different studio we highly recommend working one on one with an instructor before requesting to be in a class. This is to ensure that you are placed in the appropriate class for your skill level when a spot opens up.
There are no online sign ups for these classes, instead we ask that you email us. Requests are first come first serve with priority given to students that were signed up for the previous session. Although we wish we could accommodate everyone, these classes often fill quickly with returning students. If you miss out, reach out to us about private lessons! Please be patient with our slow response time after classes are announced as we let the requests come in before getting back to everyone.

1- DAY CARVING WORKSHOPS w/ Tom Liu *NEW*
MULTIPLE DAYS: 9:00am-1:30pm
March 21
April 11
May 16
LEVEL: SOME GLASSBLOWING EXPERIENCE RECOMMENDED
COST: $225
These one-day classes will serve as an introduction to using the carving lathe to decorate your glass. We will start with understanding the basic wheel shapes and their uses and progress quickly from flat glass to vessels of different shapes which we will have on hand for you to use. This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill or build upon the ones you have learned so far while staying under the watchful eye of an instructor. Some glassblowing experience is useful but not as important a requirement as enthusiasm. The content of these sessions will be tailored to each individual student's experience and interest.
The goal of these sessions is to get students to the point where they can rent the equipment independently.
This will likely take about 3 sessions for most.
*this is not a 6 week class, but individual drop in days, e-mail to sign up*
