Intermediate Classes & Workshops

PGC's intermediate classes and workshops allow you to get to know glass a little bit better. Whether you are interested in an in-depth weekend workshop or an 8-week format, we have the class for you. These classes can be repeated as many times as you would like – we guarantee you'll learn something new every time.

These are also great classes to take if you are interested in becoming certified as a teaching assistant at PGC. For more information on how to become a TA , contact Registrar Sam Laffey at 412.365.2145 x208.

*Unless otherwise noted, you must be at least 14 years old to take a workshop or class.
