Classes for New and Experienced Glass Artists
Our next instructional classes session starts on July 1 and goes through September 7, 2024.

Each session enrolls ten (10) people, including the instructor. We have 3 instructional classes, every session. The Tuesday day class is for Beginners. The Wednesday day & Thursday evening classes are open to Beginner, Advanced Beginner, and Intermediate levels. See times below.

Between each session of classes, we schedule a Studio Maintenance activity, that we ask you to participate in. You will be notified of the date soon after class begins, it's fun, and the more hands that faster the clean-up goes! The next one is Saturday September 21, 9 - noon.

Glass, molds, cutters, tools, etc., can be purchased through our online store.

PLEASE NOTE: Our venue also hosts a daycare program, therefore, we try to enter the facility as a group and exit as a group.

Have you always wanted to try making your own fused glass work but didn't know where to start? Or are you experienced, but not ready to jump into independent studio? Join Master Artist Bud Spindt for the Wednesday morning All Levels Class! Bud instructs beginner and intermediate students on glass fusing techniques while introducing tools used to accomplish your work. Bud structures his class where you bring a project idea, or have something in mind, and he helps you learn from start to finish how to fuse glass. Advanced students benefit from Bud's knowledge and experience, and its just plain fun to be with other artists!
