This class is designed for those who really just want see what molten glass is all about. Feel the heat, gather from the furnace, sculpt the glass into you own design. It is ultimately about the experience, some experimentation and a couple nice paperweights to take home or to the office to show your friends.

Class size at the largest will be five students so everyone has adequate time at the bench working.

There will be material provided before the class for you to review and become familiar with concerning safety and basic glassblowing vocabulary. Please join us for some in-depth discovery. Cost - $135. 3-5 students; reservations required; 50% non-refundable deposit.


"Christmas in July"

Winter just ended but already we are anticipating the hot Alabama summer that is on its way! But we’re not going to wilt because we are taking our minds to December and the fun that we have here in the studio at that time of year. "Christmas In July" features glass-blowing demonstrations, refreshments and a chance to blow your own ornament! Avoid the crowds that we have in the fall for these events and look around our gallery for a chance to get started on your Christmas shopping. We’ll be offering one-day discounts on some items. No reservations required ----- just dress in something cool (well, after all, it is July) and bring your family and friends for a fun day at Orbix!!
