Hot Shop

$175/ 215 person | 3-hour session
Our team building events start with a safety tour and instructor demonstration of a colorful paperweight or flower. Then participants are divided into teams and each member makes their own paperweight or flower with the help of our instructors and their teammates. ​For $215 per person your team can make cups, or ornaments instead. The entire group will need to choose one item.
Stained Glass
6 - 12 participants
$150/person | 3-hour session
Our stained glass can be done as one big mural or as individual projects. Class will start with a saftey talk and demonstration. Glass will be pre formed for you so you can design what colors, shapes, and spacing you would like. The projects you can choose between are a square pattern, honeycomb pattern, or a hanging mobile. Please indicate which you would like to do beforehand so we can prepare for you. If you want more freedoms in your designs, let us know ahead of time. There will be additional costs and we may need to lengthen the time of the experience.
Warm Shop
6 - 30 participants
$135/$95per person | 3-hour session
Our fused mural workshop is starts with a safety overview, after which the instructor will introduce participants to the process of cutting, shaping and assembling sheet glass for the creation of a unique and colorful mural. Each participant will receive one smaller square to decorate that will be fused into one larger sheet to create an amazing team mural. We love to incorporate a logo or symbol that is meaningful for your group into that fusing project. The fusing is heated in a kiln and cooled down to room temperature the next day, so you can pick it up a few days later or, we can make shipping arrangements for you. ​ Your team can opt to do individual projects instead. Examples would be: a coaster, a self portrait or pendants. The team would all do the same project. If you have 6-25 people, your price per person will be $135 If you have more than 25 people, your price per person will drop to $95.
Private Demonstration Party
20-200 participants
$90/$75 person | 3-hour session
Three artists will work together at the center of the room to do a live glass blowing demonstration for your group, creating a range of objects and explaining the process throughout. Participants are encouraged to make requests and interact with our team, asking questions and engaging with the artists. This is an amazing opportunity to experience a wide range of glass techniques and have an open dialogue with professional artists. For additional fees, we can arrange catering from one of our local partners and include a hand-crafted glass for each member of your team, they can socialize, eat, drink and mingle as they please. All the objects will be yours to keep at the end of the event. We have holiday options as well. For parties over 100, pricing per person will drop to $75.
