Beginner Classes & Workshops

2-hour Workshops

These workshops meet one time for 2 hours. This a great way to get a taste of glass making without a huge commitment.


Embossed Glasses


Price: $65

You’ll learn about the various finishing processes that are used to complete a piece of glass that has been created in another shop. Working with a glass tumbler that has been created for you, you’ll try your hand at sandblasting and engraving, and take home your own tumbler embossed with a PGC logo or one of your own choosing.
