Glass Studio Rental
The studio is available for rental. Listed here are the current
prices for rental of studio facilities. You can find more information about our complement of
equipment on the studio tour page. We are now taking
reservations for studio time, please call us for availability. If you are looking for someone
to work with; we've set up a special forum on our Message Board where
you can post the request.
The rates listed are the basic rate. Discounts will be offered for large blocks of time pre-payed.
These rates assume a reasonable consumption of glass. Please advise if particularly
large-scale or solid work is to be made so we can schedule charging and negotiate a rate. Our rule
of thumb is 10 lbs of glass per hour, with additional glass @ $2.50 per lb.
We have a total of 4 gloryholes of 3 different sizes so you can match the size to the scale
of work that you are making (and we can make most economical use of natural gas.)
There is a 2 hour minimum for shop/equipment rentals.
