Description

Specialties

We provide private and semi private lampworking (flameworking, torch working) lessons in both soft glass (soda-​lime) and borosilicate glasses emphasizing techniques in both solid working and glassblowing. We tailor our instruction to the student’s individual goals as well as existing skill levels, creating custom lesson plans to meet every budget and schedule.

In addition to classes we offer repairs, custom glass fabrication, and memorial pendants as well as other small glass and ash mementos.

In order to maintain maximum flexibility for the schedules of our customers we are open by appointment only.
