Glass Gifts for All Budgets and Occasions

Participatory Gifts Gift certificates are available of any of East Falls Glassworks class offerings. You can give a glass blowing experience that the recipient will never forget. One of the best things about running a glass studio is the opportunity to teach others about the most amazing material and see the look on their faces as they work with glass for the first time. After the gift certificate is received, the lucky recipient can call the studio to schedule their session(s). $80 - Glass Blowing Experience - The Glass Experience is a unique chance for folks to try glass blowing with no future commitment. Participants will see a glass form demonstrated, then get the opportunity to make one of their own (with our expert assistance). This is also a great experience that can be shared by multiple participants. We normal book as many as four people for each session, but special arrangement can be made for a larger group. $290 - Introduction to Glassblowing Class - Our introductory class meets for four weeks, once per week for three hours, for a total of 12 hours of instructional time. The class is geared for people with no glass experience; our patient instructors will step through the fundamentals of glass blowing, demonstrating the basic techniques, and explaining the tools and necessary equipment.
