Event Overview

Come try your hand at glass blowing! Step into the world of hot glass!

In this class participants will work one on one with an instructor to make double-walled glass bowls. First you'll choose your colors, then you'll apply them to the hot glass from the furnace. After shaping the molten glass you'll inflate it by blowing into the end of the steel glass blowing pipe. All blown glass objects need to be cooled slowly overnight to prevent breakage, so your bowl will be available for pick up a few days after your class. Class attendees are asked to wear all natural fibers (please no rayon, nylon, polyester, etc.), tie back any long hair and wear closed toed shoes.

Please email the instructor with any questions.

Kit was a great instructor. We were able to design our bowls, watch her make a bowl, and then make our own bowls. You are really nervous at first working with the hot glass, but Kit makes you feel at ease and it eventually becomes almost meditative. I use our bowls all the time (my husband and I both made one)--I keep them on our kitchen island for fresh fruit.

The class was a lot of fun and the bowl turned out beautifully! Not as "hands on" as I was hoping, but I understand that's hard to do in a one-time class - especially in this medium. It definitely made me want to learn more!
