Glassblowing

Step into our welcoming hot shop and experience glass in its molten state!

Friday Night Fire offers short, hands-on glassblowing sessions designed for beginners. You’ll work one-on-one with an instructor to shape molten glass into your own piece. No experience necessary—just curiosity.


What You’ll Make

Each participant will create a paperweight, cup, or vase, gaining hands-on experience with core glassblowing techniques.

What to Expect

You’ll start with a brief introduction to safety, tools, and the glassblowing process, followed by a short demonstration. Then, one at a time, you’ll be guided through the process of shaping your piece.

Instructors adapt each step to your comfort level to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Finished pieces are cooled in a kiln and will be available for pickup at a later date.


Schedule & Booking

Sessions are booked as individual time slots within each hour, with up to three participants scheduled per hour. Groups are welcome to reserve consecutive slots, and larger groups will rotate through the process while others observe.

$85 per person

Ages: 14+
