Open Studio Guidelines

OPEN STUDIO GUIDELINES

Work independently on your kiln formed glass projects at the Art Glass Studio.  Previous fusing experience or the completion of First Time Fusers (FTF) or the equivalent are required.  The fee for Open Studio is $20 per hour with a minimum of two hours.  One firing fee is included in each session.  Open studio sessions are staffed by Resident Artists and are designed to allow you to share space, ideas and energy with other glass artists.

Open Studio Hours are available when classes are not scheduled

Saturday : 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
