Feel the heat of the glass furnace, shape the glass with tools, and learn how to make a glass flower pumpkin, or paperweight! Here are some hot shop class tips:
 

• Request a class by submitting the form above or by emailing sfgwashburn@gmail.com your request.  Please include which class, how many participants, and what day/date-range you would like your class. 

• Classes take place on most Friday and Saturdays, with start times ranging from 1pm-6:30pm.

• Classes are for ages 12 and up.  Persons under 18 will need a guardian present. 

• Your class may have other participants outside of your personal group. The more the merrier and making new glass friends is fun!

• Request a Custom Class if you'd like a class on a Sunday-Thursday as there may at times be able to accommodate your request.

• Once we have received your request, we will contact you as soon as we're able with our availability. Hopefully we'll be able to find and provide a time that works for your schedule to book the class.

• When a class booking day/time has been finalized, you will receive an invoice to pay for the class. 

• Each person will be taken through the steps of making a flower or paperweight and then using the tools of the hot shop, you will manipulate the glass to the desired shape.  Items will need to cool, so they can be picked up the next day, at a later date, or shipped for an additional cost. Duration of the class can vary due to the number of participants and how much individual instruction time is needed.

• Flower classes allow you to feel and learn more about how hot glass moves to shape it into your desired form.  Paperweight and pumpkin classes allow you to use more tools and spend more time reheating, shaping the glass to the desired shape as well as use more glass which makes the class cost slightly more.  Both classes are equally fun, challenging, and different!

• We do have fun ways for younger kids to also participate, so reach out if you have kids younger than 12 that want to join a class.

• Safety glasses/glasses (extra pairs are available in the studio if you don't have any) and closed-toe shoes are required while in the studio, cotton clothing is recommended.  Classes are non-refundable (minus a few exceptions).  Refer to the Class Policies/FAQ page for more details and please read them prior to booking or attending a class.  There you will also find the liability waiver to print off and bring to class (additional copies available at the studio).  The hot shop studio is located in Washburn, WI in the township of Bayview.  Specific address provided during booking.
