Take a Glass Blowing Class
AO Glass is excited to offer Glass Blowing Experiences!
If you’ve been to our glass shop you’ve seen our world-class glassmakers hard at work. Now YOU have the chance to get in on the action and create your very own hot glass piece! During your hands-on experience with up to three other participants, 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.
Classes are generally offered Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and last approximately one hour. These classes are available for individuals or groups, ages 16 and up. By default, two seats are available per class; if you’d like to schedule up to four individuals, contact us and we’ll be happy to accommodate your group.
Cost is $150 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 overnight cooling in our annealing oven.
Please review our FAQ section for more details on what to expect, and register for a class or purchase a gift certificate.

We look forward to sharing the joy of glass with you!
“I cant say Enough good things about my experience. My Instructor Matt was great…He was very knowledgeable and taught me what I needed to know prior to needing to know it. The finished product was better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend this experience to anyone!”

“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…”
