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.

Option 1:Four Hour Workshop: Hands on class which allows larger groups to enjoy the experience of glassblowing. Depending on the size of the group, participants make 1-3 bowls, seafloats, ornaments, etc. At the end of the class, the instructors will work together with participants to create a beautiful piece valued at over $500 which someone in the class will keep.

Option 2: 1 Hour Tour. It includes watching up to two demonstrations by our professional team of glassblowers from the start to finish of a piece. A knowledgeable tour guide will explain the process and answer any questions your group may have.

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 the following day or we can arrange to ship finished pieces via UPS.

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