Discover the techniques, workflows, design principles, and creation of artistic glasswork. You'll shape glowing, liquid glass into stunning artistic pieces.

The spacious, well-lit studio comfortably fits its four work areas. Every station comes with a workbench, marver, glory hole, essential hand tools, and pipes needed to handle the molten glass from the two 200-pound standalone furnaces. Fully renovated in 2013, the studio features cutting-edge facilities with generous annealing space for student projects. Supporting the hot shop is a complete cold shop containing all necessary tools for refining and finishing your creations, including access to a diamond saw and sandblasting equipment.

Weekly, you'll collaborate with rotating instructors who contribute their specialized knowledge and approach to the craft.
