Nope. All you need to do is show up for your class and we have everything you need. We even have Bottled water stocked in our studio fridge and and a stocked snack cart with lots of goodies incase you get the grumblies.

We try to keep our classes to a 4 hour maximum. However, if we get a group that converses well together it has gone over that before. If we stay on task we can finish on time! However we don't mind when a group is enjoying themselves so we plan our Teaching time to have plenty of wiggle room just incase!
Blown glass classes take about 2 hours.

Each student will get 5 glass blowing tubes and will pick their colored glass Frit (crushed glass).after that we will go one by one in front of the torch to heat up your Ornament and “Blow” it. We do it this way so we can help if something doesn't seem to go right. We want to make sure that you get all of the instruction you need to assure you go home with multiple ornaments.
