Cold Working Classes

Cold working is used to add the final touches to glass pieces created through other processes. It can involve polishing, grinding, sawing, or sandblasting. This technique may be used to refine a piece or significantly reshape it. Cold working can also prepare a glass piece for integration with other materials, such as wood or metal. Learn about our Cold Shop!

If you’re looking to cold work a project but aren’t sure how, join us during our open studio hours happening monthly. These classes include access to our equipment as well as guidance and expertise from our instructors. They will be available to troubleshoot an issue, help you with the tools, or monitor you while you work!

To learn more in depth about the process of cold working, we offer a variety of classes including:
