Central Glass Works, Centralia

Dipping the blow pipe down into the white-hot furnace, Kevin Michael Regan demonstrates to his students how to gather the molten glass before blowing, shaping, and re-heating the hot, molten material. As owner and resident artist of Central Glass Works, Regan puts nearly two decades of experience to use crafting unique pieces and passing the skills of the centuries-old art on to any curious students who visit. Along with his team of like-minded glass artists, they lead students of all ages and skill-levels during private lessons, group workshops to craft simple paperweights, or more advanced lessons on how to make the perfect glass slipper.
