Hot Glass: Glass Blowing Class - Paperweight - Round or Heart Shaped

In this hands-on glass class participants will create a colorful paperweight by choosing three favorite colors from a selection of more than sixty. With guidance from an experienced instructor the colors are incorporated into clear molten glass to form either a round or heart-shaped paperweight. No prior experience is necessary making this activity perfect for beginners and children age five and up with adult supervision. The session encourages creativity and experimentation while teaching basic glass handling techniques and safety procedures. Participants gain a hands-on understanding of color mixing glass shaping and the art of creating functional decorative objects. The class is ideal for families friends or individuals looking for a fun and educational craft experience.

After shaping the paperweight each piece is carefully annealed to ensure durability and stability. Finished projects are available for pickup on the next open day or can be shipped for an additional fee arranged during the class. All class-made work must be picked up within sixty days. The class provides all materials and safety equipment needed and emphasizes a supportive and relaxed environment where participants can explore creativity without pressure.
