how it works

At Ignis Glass Studio, designing and blowing your own high-quality heirloom keepsake is a one-of-a-kind experience for both adults and children. Select your preferred design and colors, then take your turn melting your glass in the 2000° furnace, shaping your creation by blowing through a pipe and see the transformation right before your eyes

After an overnight cooling process in a special 800° oven, your masterpiece is ready to be taken home. Whether it’s a ladies’ night out, a fun-filled family day, or a team-building adventure, our glassblowing experience is the perfect choice. Check out our video or follow the simple three-step process below for more information and book with us now!

The process

select your design

Once you arrive at the studio, you choose the type of glass to create from a selection of ten different ornament options with varying styles and finishes or the options of a footed bowl or vase. From there, you will enter the hot shop where you will choose the colors for your design from the large color palette selection. After a brief education on the glass-blowing process, the excitement begins!

fire your glass

Participants have the opportunity to assist the glassblower in melting the glass and then watch as the artist applies your color selection. From there, your glassblower will hand you the blowpipe so you may turn your molten glass inside the 2000° furnace. As you spin the blowpipe, you will be able to feel the movement of the glass while it is still in its molten form.

form your glass

Lastly, your glassblower will attach a blowhose to the blowpipe, allowing you to blow air slowly and steadily into your one-of-a-kind keepsake, and watch it take shape before your eyes, capturing your very own breath. Your glassblower will fashion a hanging loop or add a bottom and place your piece into an 800° oven for it to slowly cool overnight
