FAQs
Can I take home my pieces after the class?
Due to the heating and cooling characteristics of glass, your creation must be left overnight at the studio, to cool in the oven and set properly. Items may be picked up the day after your class. Shipping is available for students who cannot pick up their pieces.
What happens if my piece breaks during the cooling process?
Sometimes breaks happen. If this should happen to you, you'll have to option to reschedule and remake your piece. If you cannot reschedule, the studio will remake your piece for you. No refunds will be offered.
Will my piece be perfect?
Glassblowing is an art form that takes years to master. If this is your first time, it is unlikely that your piece will come out exactly as you imagined it would. While it may not be perfect, your piece will be unique to you and will remind you of the incredible time you had creating it!
