Experience Blowing Glass:
GRT Glass Design charges 60 per hour for one person or 50 per person per hour and usually we do 2 hour lessons to begin. If you get a group of 10 to 15 together we can do a lesson at 45 per person where each person walks away with a wonderful paperweight, heart, pumpkin, or a couple of flowers.
Experience Fusing Glass: $75 for a firing in my kiln all expenses included
Learn to fuse glass in my studio at the Harrison Center. Anyone above the age of 8 is welcome to come and try out fusing for themselves. Very safe and a wonderful experience for everyone to learn about the properties of glass. $75 for a firing where I will teach you and anyone you bring in how to fuse glass. I will let you make a few small fused pieces using my shards, cane, murrini and other scraps that I have been collecting. It will take me 20 minutes to teach you the process then you can load up the oven with your creations and then we will fire it to 1450 degrees and you will get your pieces back the next day. Great experience for everyone to learn about the medium.
Portable glass studio available as well
