Intro Glassblowing Classes

Sign up for any Introductory Glassblowing class during the month of May, and receive 30% off.

Boro 101 is a great introduction to glassblowing in a professional setting with one of our experienced teachers. This class will cover setup, tools, lampworking materials, glass properties, with an emphasis on solid form. Sculpture, welds, leaves, and other lampworking basics will be covered in this workshop. Each student will have the opportunity to create their own glass sculpture during this class.
