Hot Shop

A hot shop is a dynamic and exciting place where skilled artists transform molten glass into stunning works of art. It’s a place where creativity, precision, and heat converge to create something truly magical.

Hot Shop Classes

The Hot Shop runs three types of programming: two 10-week semester glass blowing courses, on-demand glassblowing classes, and make your own experiences.  

Students receive personalized attention and can work at their own pace. Our instructors are adept at customizing lessons to best serve the student. Classes can be scheduled during times that best fit the students schedule, whether that means during the day, evening, or weekends.

Hot Shop Equipment

Our Hot Shop features a 400 pound Hub furnace, four glory holes (two 12″, 19″, and 26″), three large kilns, a roll up kiln, a Paragon color box, and three work benches. This studio is available for rental.

Hot Shop Rentals

As part of our educational mission, Sonoran Glass School’s studios are available for public use. Glass artists and students who seek to rent the studio must meet our qualifications. Rental sessions are a great opportunity to work on new ideas or finish projects.
