construction update
PARKING
Pittsburgh Glass Center has begun construction on the expansion of our facility which will allow us to more than double the number of people that visit each year! During construction, all activities will proceed as normal, but our parking lot will be unavailable. We encourage you to allow extra travel time to find parking in the surrounding areas. Parking on Penn Avenue in front of and near our building is free.
Main Entrance
Our main entrance has been relocated to the very front of our building along Penn Avenue. The entrance remains wheelchair accessible. When you arrive, proceed up the ramp and through the door, continue past our Flame Shop and you will see the front desk up ahead in our retail area.
PUBLIC HOURS
Summer 2023
Monday–Friday 10am–7pm
Saturday + Sunday 11am–4pm
Pittsburgh Glass Center is free and open to the public. Stop by during our open hours to explore and learn more. Classes, events, studio rental, and event rental are all available outside of our regular hours.
ADMISSION
While PGC is public access and admission is free, there is a $5 suggested donation. We rely on individual contributions to augment the revenue generated by our classes and workshops in order to keep our doors open, our fires hot, and to continue our mission of education and community outreach. There are two donation boxes located on the first floor of our Penn Avenue building. We genuinely appreciate support in whatever amount you are able to give!
