Glass Workshops – Perfect Summer Fun!

Glass Workshops – Perfect Summer Fun!

We have two workshop spaces at Hot Shop Glass.

For sixteen years we’ve operated our hot shop – where students team up with an instructor to create beautiful blown balls or sculpted paperweights using 2000º molten glass.  In 2016 we expanded our offerings to include blown glass pumpkins (registration opens June 14th at noon!), then bowls and glass cactus!  All are appropriate for beginners.   These workshops are open to ages 14+ and in a specific project is completed and then cooled in a kiln overnight for pick up (or shipping) a few days later.  Workshops are $50-$70.   These classes can book up fast —see the Classes section of our website & click book it now to check availability.  Click here for details on glass blowing classes!

Glass Cactus Classes start 5/29

Glass Pumpkin Class REGISTRATION opens 6/14 @noon. Classes begin in August.

In late 2019 we expanded and transformed our back room into a fusing studio – where students cut, shape & grind sheet glass, layering it like a mosaic to create designs of their choice.  The creations melt –or fuse– in a kiln overnight at approximately 1400º.  Ages 8+ will love this process.  It’s an ‘open studio’ with an instructor on hand to guide you in the process and options of glass to use to bring your vision to life.  If you aren’t sure what to make, take a look at Pinterest for inspiration.   Cost is based on the size of the piece you make and varies from $15 to $85.  Click here for glass fusing details and to check the schedule –Book A Class!
