Glassblowing class FAQ for glassblowing 101 in Colorado Springs

What should I wear?

Be comfortable and think safety. On warm days it can be very warm, and on cold days it can feel cold. Wearing layers is the best way to stay comfortable. Closed toe shoes are required.

Do you have food and drink?

We have a snack machine and you will be provided water. You are welcome to bring your own snacks if you prefer.

Can I bring friends to watch?

No. The studio teaching area is small and we prioritize space and safety for students on the torches. This keeps everyone focused and safe.

What age is this appropriate for?

We have worked with children as young as eight years old. You know your child best. Remember that we are working with fire and hot glass, so an adult should decide if the child is ready for this experience.
