Seattle has become world famous as the center of the craft glass art movement. The headquarters of the glass art society are located in Seattle and many famous glass artists are based in the Seattle area.

Your group can learn about glass art and experience glassblowing hands-on in our state of the art facilities in Downtown Seattle. Professional glassblowers lead groups in customized experiences ranging from narrated demonstrations to hands-on workshops where visitors create their own one-of-a-kind glass art pieces.

Glassblowing is an experience your employees or clients will remember for a lifetime. Whether you want to reward your group for finishing a big project or you want to entertain clients, glassblowing is a uniquely Seattle experience that is sure to impress.

TEAMWORK
Glassblowing is a great activity to enhance teamwork amongst co-workers. You will find it enriches communication, encouraging participants to develop good interpersonal skills. Glassblowing is almost always done as a team and many pieces would be impossible to make alone. Glassblowing provides a unique opportunity to work together creating an unforgettable experience.

TEAMBUILDING EVENTS: Get creative with your co-workers or friends in our Four Hour Hands-on Workshop which allows larger groups to enjoy the experience of glassblowing. Depending on the size of the group, participants make 1-2 bowls, seafloats,ornaments, etc. At the end of the class, the instructors will work together with participants to create abeautiful piece valued at over $500 which someone in the class will keep.

Teambuilding events can be scheduled throughout the year - contact us at 206-448-2181 or info@seattleglassblowing.com for more information.

ARTWORK PICKUP / SHIPPING
Finished hand-blown glass must go through an annealing process (slow cooling in a furnace) so pieces can not be taken home the same day that they are made. Pieces can be picked up 24 - 48 hours after the event or we can arrange to ship finished pieces via UPS.

STUDIO TOUR: Our 1 Hour Tour includes watching a live demonstration by our professional team of glassblowers, an inside look at a glass color and supply shop, and a tour of the glass art gallery. A knowledgeable tour guide will explain the glassblowing process and answer any questions your group may have.

CANCELLATION POLICY
A 50% deposit is required to reserve our studio. Please call to cancel your class at least 72 hours in advance.
