Studio Rentals

Studio 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.

All First-time renters must complete a safety and equipment orientation with a Shop Manager prior to renting the studio.

Open Studio

In addition to individual studio rentals, we frequently host open studio events where artists can share the space. Learn in a collaborative environment during these open studio hours. Join other artists to use the studio – all tools and equipment are available for use and glass is available for purchase.

Cold Shop – Monthly, check calendar for availability

If you’re looking to cold work a project but aren’t sure how, join us during our open studio hours. 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!
Use our belt sander, single arbor grinding lathe, lap wheels, wet saws, ring saws, large sandblaster, and small engraving tools.
 
Flame Shop – Last Saturday of the month, 3 hour reservations for $40

See what other torch workers are up to! Collaborate with other artists or just enjoy the company of others while working on your project. 

Use our Nortel Redmax burners, hand tools, and kilns. Propane/oxygen included, boro and soft glass available for purchase. You are also welcome to bring your own equipment, tools, and glass. 

Warm Shop  – Tuesdays, 3 hour reservations for $30

Bring a project to work on and meet other fusers! This is a great opportunity to learn from other artists and see all the possibilities in the warm shop.

All tools and equipment are available for use. This includes use of the grinders in the cold shop. Our shop uses 90COE glass from Bullseye, though we also have 96 available for purchase. Warm Shop open studio does not include firing, which is available for an additional cost.
