Whether you’re planning standout bachelorette party ideas, unique birthday party ideas, or fresh team building activities, this Richmond studio sets the stage for hands-on fun that actually feels special!You’ll gather your group and choose between two experiences: sculpt solid glass forms like hearts, flowers, or birds using shaping tools, or try traditional glassblowing to create vessels like a pint glass or vase by blowing through a pipe.

Your teacher
Originally from St. Louis, I moved to Oakland, CA and earned a BFA in glass concentration from California College of Arts & Crafts in 2002. During the course of my training, I toured the world exploring studios from Inferno Glass Studio in New Orleans, to Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, to studios in Murano, Italy. In 2006, I designed and built Slow Burn Glass, a studio in Oakland, California where I created my work until July 2018. Slow Burn Glass then expanded into a 5000-square-foot facility in Richmond, CA where we offer beginner classes every weekend.
