About Our Classes
At the Columbus Glass Art Center, our mission is to celebrate the art and science of glass. Our favorite way to celebrate is through our classes. Through our hands on classes, we teach about the vibrant versatility and the many different ways of working with glass.
Explore our many class options including our most popular one-hour glassmaking classes. These classes are a great introduction to a specific glass method. When you’re ready for more, we have our series classes, lasting from 4-6 weeks, that take you deeper into working with glass. For our working glass artists, we offer an annual variety of summer intensive classes, which takes participants through an in-depth experience in a specialized glassmaking skill. Our single day and series classes are taught by talented local glass artists who provide guided instruction while demonstrating safe and effective studio practices. For our summer intensive classes, we invite instructors from around the world to teach a very specific glassmaking technique which allows you to build your own glass skills.
Unless otherwise stated, we welcome students at least 10 years of age or older to participate in any of our classes. An adult must accompany children under 18 years old.
Once cooled, your art is ready for pick up 7 days after your class or may be shipped for an additional fee within the US and Canada.
