Then you will learn about the properties of glass while making a “practice piece". For the main event you will move on to adding colour to the mix and forming your own Sculpture, paperweight, or fanciful flower.

Your 2 works of art need to cool for 1 - 2 days after the class is done. You can either pick up your creation at least 2 days later, or you can have the items mailed to you for the price of shipping to your address.
Instruction is available in English, French, and by arrangement, in Japanese. If you get hungry, there's a restaurant on the main floor and two more options a short walk away. Other things to note:If you have physical limitations or don't like heat, we are happy to assist and take care of any parts of the process you don't like. We want you to feel comfortable and express your inner creativity.
