Art of
Fire Contemporary Glassblowing Studio is a full-scale working hot glass studio
offering glassblowing instruction.
Located in a renovated dairy barn in Northern Montgomery County, we offer the most
comprehensive course utilizing a basic class outline and course syllabus. This serves as a general guideline while
allowing an opportunity for creative input and personalized instruction.
Our premiere facility remains the mid-Atlantic’s largest studio with
ongoing classes offered on all skill levels
Our BEGINNING
GLASSBLOWING course is designed to provide you with the
basic introductory skills necessary to complete simple vessels. No previous glassworking experience is required. We keep the classes small (2 people per
instructor) so that students may benefit from individualized instruction and maximum furnace
time. Students will work with partners
to maximize time spent at the furnace and aid in the completion of glass
pieces. Students should expect to
complete the course having made 6-8 pieces of glass. A copy of the course outline is included.
For comfort and safety students should wear wool or cotton
clothing and closed shoes. It’s best to not wear artificial fibers.
Those interested in pursuing further glass instruction and
acquiring more skills may enroll in our BEYOND THE
BASICS course.
Designed to both improve the basic skills already acquired and introduce
new decorative techniques, this class will introduce solid color work, optic
molds, trails, lip wraps, feet and handles.
Each set of classes is 12 hours and divided into 2 6-hour
sessions on weekends. Weekday classes
can be divided into 4 3-hour sessions.
The price for each course is $599. A deposit/processing fee of $175 is required
when registering for the class. The
balance is due in full at the beginning of the first class session.
