OUR LESSON SCHEDULE IS INDEPENDENT OF THE GALLERY HOURS AND BY APPOINTMENT. TO SCHEDULE PLEASE EMAIL: blowingsands@hotmail.com
There are two types of lessons offered: Choose either a private "beginning glass blowing" lesson or try a "taste of glass blowing"

For an in depth class for one or two students:
BEGINNING GLASS BLOWING LESSON

Our beginning lessons are $180+tax for one student (two hours) and $220 for two students (2 1/2 hours.) Additional time can be booked. Your instructor is able to tailor the experience to the individual. The private lesson starts with hands on practice using colorless glass from the furnace. You'll go through all the hand tools to see how they are used to manipulate and shape the molten glass. After this you are ready to take another dip from the furnace, add some color to clear glass, and make a paperweight.
Next, the techniques learned are used to make a blown vessel. Options include making a small vase, bowl, or drinking glass.
All the glass made goes into the annealing ovento cool slowly overnight, then a diamond tool is used to engrave your name on the bottom. Pieces are ready to pick up by the end of the next business day.

Participants are asked to wear non-synthetic, long-sleeved clothing and closed-toed shoes.
