The Aquila Glass School started from simple beginnings exclusively as a fused-glass studio before launching its own glasswork curriculum. Beginning glasssmiths are welcomed with the Intro to Fusing class, which provides students with the instruction and materials necessary to create their own colorful glass artwork, such as colorful serving ware or detectives' accessories. At the beginning of each three-hour session, experienced teachers explain the basics of glasswork, including safety tactics and glass-cutting techniques, after which students get to produce six pieces of art—four glass pendants, a glass bowl, and one larger tray—that they can take home after about a week, once the glass hardens.
Intro to Beadmaking encourages guided experimentation with glass torches as students flame baubles under the watchful eye of experienced instructors. Different varieties of glass unveil their secrets as the class plays with consistency. Under the heat of the torch, molten glass shapes into round, square, triangle, and barrel beads, with students taking home about a dozen of their own creations once the material has hardened, about a week after the class. Reservations are required for classes; check the schedule for monthly offerings.

About Aquila Glass School
Breaking with the no-nonsense vibe of the shop’s warehouse exterior, Aquila Glass School’s brightly painted loading-dock door hints at the vibrant creativity that waits inside. The full-time working studio simmers with nine kilns as students create their glass into plates, beads, boxes, or Christmas tree ornaments. Students cut their teeth on introductory classes that teach fusing and studio safety, then graduate to more advanced skills such as torch work and marble making. The expansive facility also offers 68 hours of open studio time each week, where graduates of introductory classes return to further their education with more classes or create independent projects with free use of the facilities, tools, and instruction books made entirely of stained glass.
