Youth Classes

in Glass

Glass • Youth: Preteen Intro to Glass • Wed (Aug 27 - Sept 17) • Pay What You Can • MAIN

$195

with Laura Beth Konopinski

Calendar Aug 27, 2025 at 4:30 pm, runs for 4 weeks

Ages: 8 - 12

Why should adults have all the fun? This class will spend four weeks going over low-fire glassworking techniques like kiln fusing, sheet glass cutting and coldwork (working with unheated glass), and hot glass / hot sculpting (reshaping heated glass with either torches or kilns). The projects will be simple and may vary depending on the material and technique being covered that week. 

This class has no prerequisites and is specifically set up for absolute beginners to this art form. Our Glass Studio does have some safety basics before anyone is allowed to join in the fun (failure to meet these requirements will result in not being granted access to the equipment): 

  • Please come dressed in close-toe and heel shoes, and natural material clothing, i.e. cotton or linen, long pants are recommended. 
  • No loose or dangling jewelry, long earrings or scarves.
  • If you have long hair, please have it securely tied back from your face.
  • We will provide safety goggles, but if you have your own and would like to bring them, please do!

Will be available to register on Monday, July 28 at 8:00am.
