AO Glass Blowing Classes

You can get in on the action and create your very own hot glass piece! During your hands-on experience, our expert glassmakers will guide you safely through the process of creating your own one-of-a-kind work of art.

It’s easy to sign up - pick your time slot, and when you arrive for class, choose a product design and colors, and prepare to have a unique experience working in our “hot shop” - the name of a glass facility.

Each class lasts approximately one hour. These classes are available for individuals or groups, ages 16 and up. By default, two seats are available per class; for larger groups, contact us to check on available options.

Cost is $175 per person. During class, each participant works individually with one of our experienced glass blowers to craft one of three glass designs (shown below) from start to finish. Your piece will be available for pickup the following day after cooling overnight in our annealing oven.

  • “We were greeted by Emmett, given a tour of the beautiful shop and introduced to Matt, our exceptional instructor. He made sure we were always safe, giving us instructions to follow and completely put us at ease. From deciding what piece we wanted, what color to choose, the rest of the class was laughs, learning and interacting with friendly knowledgeable teachers. I will take another class. It was so much fun and my lime green bowl is front & center filled with hugs & kisses…”
    - Gretchen
