East Side Glass Studio, Austin

At East Side Glass Studio, artists Leigh Taylor Wyatt and Shara Funari guide students through the age-old art of glassblowing. Gripping heavy metal tubes, they use their lungs to tame huge, billowing orbs of molten glass. When they're not working on their own pieces, or showcasing their wares at the on-site gallery, these glass masters lead private and group lessons. They also host single-session workshops, classes, and events which are open to the public. Guests may observe glassblowing methods or visit the onsite gallery stocked with unique home decor and gifts.
