Glassblowing — Furnace Class

Service Description

Make your own glass art at the furnace with an artist guiding you throughout the hands-on process. You can bring any idea you like; we will help you choose the techniques for your experience and class time. Vases, paperweights, bowls, tumblers, and ring holders are popular choices, not a fixed project menu. Work with glowing molten glass and create your own finished piece in our Santa Rosa Beach hot shop. No glassworking experience is required. Our trained instructors introduce safety, tools and the basics of gathering and shaping glass. Then they guide and assist you as you create a piece of your own to keep.
