In Private Glassblowing Lessons, students will be introduced to the necessary tools and techniques required to gather, shape, and inflate molten glass. Using traditional techniques, students will have the opportunity to create paperweights, ornaments, vases and bowls. Please note: work created will be dependent on how many students are in your lesson and the skill levels of those students.
Led by an OGC member and experienced glassblower, the course emphasizes safety protocols for navigating the hot shop studio and emphasizes the importance of collaborative teamwork. Some cold working instruction may be provided, as well as basic use of colour.
Our GB1: Introduction to Glassblowing course curriculum can be accomplished in six private lessons.

Group Bookings
Group Class Bookings offer a fantastic choice for a range of interests, including birthdays, corporate team building, school groups, family gatherings, even bachelorette parties! The class capacity is tailored to accommodate the participants’ ages and items being made.
Group booking options include:
- Pumpkin / Terrarium / Vintage Ornament Group Bookings: 4 participants for a 1 hour class, or 6 for a 1.5 hour class
- Ornament / Flowers Group Bookings: 5 participants for a 1 hour class, or 8 for a 1.5 hour class.

We can accommodate up to a 20 person party for bigger groups, but do book as early as possible.
It is important to note that all group class bookings are only held at select times and are dependent on the availability of our OGC instructors as well as space availability in the schedule. Please give as much notice as possible if you are looking to book a group or if you are after a particular date.
Pricing: same as scheduled Classes (eg Ornaments $59 + HST per person).
We ask that you please be as specific as possible when emailing and be sure to answer the following questions:
- What type of class are you looking for?
- How many participants?
- What dates are you ideally looking for? (Please consider a few alternative time options in case that date or time is not available).
- A contact name and phone number to reach you at.
Additional notes:
- All class bookings require payment at the time of booking.
- Pricing is based on the quantity of items, rather than the number of participants. If there are fewer participants than initially planned for on the day of the class, refunds are not provided for absentees. However, the group is encouraged to create additional items collectively, in line with the original payment.
- OGC requests that everyone bring a mask to wear if needed during their studio visit. Current COVID19 precautions are listed on our website.
