Classes

Glass blowing classes at the torch, in our gallery on Anacapa Street in Santa Barbara. No experience needed, nothing to bring, and you are on the torch yourself — not watching somebody else work.

Intro to Torch Work is where most people start: two hours, one watching a demo and one at the flame, and you leave with marbles or a pendant you made. Intro to Hollow Glass is three hours on tubing — heating it, blowing into it, shaping a vessel of your own. Intro to Sculpting is three hours making a figure or an animal, in clear glass, color and fume.

Small classes, taught by the artists who work here. Pick a class below to book.
