About this Event

Learn the basics of working with molten glass in this six-week beginner course. You'll build core skills like gathering, shaping, and tool use while creating simple forms in the hotshop. Perfect for first-timers or anyone looking to strengthen their foundation.

No experience needed—just bring curiosity and a willingness to get hot!


What to Expect: Students will work together and learn to manipulate molten glass (2000 degrees). Safety, color application, and tools will all be covered in a fun and exciting environment. The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm. Glassblowing involves a variety of activities including sitting, standing, and working with hot glass. The environment can be very hot and loud at times. Handling glass and tools may require a certain level of dexterity and ability to lift 5-10 lbs approximately. Read more about how to prepare for class on our Registration Info page. To learn more about accessibility the Accessibility page on our website.


Eligibility: No previous experience required. Open to ages 14 and up.


Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.


We recommend registering for classes early to reserve your spot! We base materials, and teacher needs off of student enrollment.
