Learn About Glass Art at Glassblowing Houston

Whether you want to learn the art of glassblowing or find a unique piece for your home, head to Glassblowing Houston. It's the only open-access glassblowing studio in the greater Houston area and features fun classes and a gallery filled with one-of-a-kind works. Here is some of what the studio offers near our Houston apartments:

Introduction to Glassblowing 

Introduction to Glassblowing invites everyone to "experience the magic of hot glass." Students learn the basics while doing simple projects in clear glass. The instructors boast years of experience and will cover topics such as working temperatures and allowing the glass to cool slowly. 

Focus on Forms 

After completing Introduction to Glassblowing, enhance your skills during Focus on Forms. You'll build on your knowledge and expand from cylinders to the other five fundamental glass forms. 

1st Saturday Free Glassblowing Demo 

The team provides a free glassblowing demonstration on the first Saturday of every month (except August). The fun starts at 4:00 p.m., and seating is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Studio Rental 

Once you gain enough experience, you can rent studio space in the hot shop. Time is offered in two-hour increments for the smallest glory hole, with the fee including things such as a bench, pipe warmer, and up to ten pounds of glass per hour.

Gallery 

Inside the gallery, you'll find unique pieces made at Glassblowing Houston. The skilled artisans create bold, colorful items, and the varied selection includes lighting, wall installations, gifts, and more. To shop in person, you'll need to make an appointment. The gallery also offers online shopping so you can discover the world of glass from the comfort of your couch.

After visiting Glassblowing Houston, enjoy a delicious barbecue sandwich at a nearby restaurant. If you are searching for a place to call home, please contact us. We will schedule a tour of Lincoln Heights and help you discover everything our apartments in Houston, TX have to offer.
