Private Lessons

Private lessons are a unique opportunity for students to learn glassblowing one-on-one with an experienced instructor. Whether you are an absolute beginner or an intermediate level glassblower looking to refine your skills, our private lessons will allow you to learn at an accelerated rate. Private lessons are four hours long and can be scheduled at your convenience during our morning, afternoon or evening sessions. Pieces made during the lesson are generally ready for pick up the following day and shipping is also available. Private lessons are ideal for out of town visitors or as special experiences for birthdays or anniversaries.

Private beginner classes at Seattle Glassblowing Studio cover hot shop safety and etiquette, basic techniques including gathering glass onto a rod, shaping key forms such as spheres and cylinders and applying basic color to glass. Students have the opportunity to make a variety of pieces with their instructor which can include paperweights, cups, bowls, plates and small vases. The private lessons are limited to one or two students, your choice, to ensure that the student receives the maximum potential from their time with the instructor. The cost for the private lesson is $395 for either one or two people. A third person can be added to the lesson for an additional $75. All tools and materials are included in the cost of the class.

Note: Students enrolled in a private lesson should come prepared for class by wearing lightweight cotton clothing (i.e. long sleeved t-shirt & jeans) and closed toed shoes. Please also bring a pair of regular sunglasses for eye safety.

We are also able to accommodate larger groups for private lessons. Please call for rates and availability.
