 ~ glassblowing ~

We teach everything from basic glassblowing to Venetian goblet techniques and sculpture.

It's important to us that our students not only learn the necessary skills to become proficient glass artists, but it must also be a fun and gratifying experience. We have been teaching glassblowing classes for over 13 years.

why take a class at artbyfire?

Our instructors are experts that are chosen for their skill, patience and love of teaching. Together, they have over 84 years of glassblowing experience. All of our classes are kept small so individualized instruction is optimized.

If your desire is to become a professional glass artist, come see what we have to offer. Many of our students have gone on to build and establish their own studios locally and in other states.

~private classes~

artbyfire also offers 2-4 hour private classes with one of our instructors for students, who want to try glassblowing, but their schedule or travel won't allow for a 4 week class. During these private classes, you will produce 3-6 colored pieces to take home and show your friends and family. Gift certificates are available.
