The Hot Shop expands the Glass Program into molten glass, furnace work, and glassblowing. This facility supports gathering, shaping, blowing, reheating, and finishing glass through a process centered on heat, movement, teamwork, and form.

Our Flameworking Studio supports torchworked glass, lampworking, beadmaking, small sculpture, and detailed glass forms. The studio is equipped for focused bench work with torches, hand tools, ventilation, and annealing resources for finished glass pieces.

The Fusing and Stained Glass Studio is designed for working with sheet glass, color, pattern, and light. This space supports glass cutting, grinding, foiling, soldering, kilnforming preparation, layout work, and surface design.

Open Studio provides approved artists and students with access to designated Workhouse glass facilities for independent practice, project development, and continued skill-building. Available studio areas include the Flameworking Studio, Flatworking Studio, and Cold Shop, with kiln rentals also available for eligible projects. Hot Shop rentals will become available once the glassblowing studio has fully launched.

The Kiln Room supports fused glass, kilnformed glass, casting, slumping, tack fusing, full fusing, and annealing. Programmable kilns allow glass to be transformed through controlled heat, timing, and temperature.

The Cold Shop provides essential glass finishing equipment for cutting, grinding, drilling, sanding, sandblasting, polishing, and refining glass surfaces. This facility supports stained glass, fused glass, cast glass, sculptural glass, and coldworked glass forms.

Our glass casting resources support mold-making, kiln casting, sculptural glass, texture, relief work, and experimental glass forms. This area helps artists move from model to mold to finished glass object through planned kiln processes.

The Workhouse Glass Store stocks purchasable glass materials, tools, and studio supplies for students, artists, and makers. Inventory may include sheet glass, fusible glass, stained glass supplies, flameworking materials, and other glassworking essentials based on availability. The Glass Store is open Thursdays from 1–7 PM.
