Blue Sage Studios is conveniently located just west of downtown Oklahoma City. Our facility is a large, two story building that houses Blue Sage Studios
(a glass blowing studio), Art Fusion
(a fused glass studio), and Istvan Gallery
(an art gallery). Any time we are working in the studio, folks are welcome to drop by and watch us work. We have bleachers and chairs set up for a comfortable environment that can accommodate groups of up to 40 people.
Blue Sage Studios
is happy to schedule glass blowing demonstrations for families, tour groups
or the general public. There is never a charge for our demonstrations and we have a gallery space with our handmade glass art for sale. The Urban Art Gallery/Blue Sage Studios is a great place to have your next private party. Call us for more information or to schedule your next party, meeting, or event.
A typical evening in the glass studio consists of the "Gaffer" (that's the person blowing the glass) designing a piece, choosing color, preparing tools and then creating the work of art. Sometimes the artist will work alone but most of the time assistants are helping in the process. It may take forty‐five minutes to an hour and half to create a piece depending on the size and scope of the work. Over the course of an evening the artists at Blue Sage Studios will create several different glass pieces.
We also offer glassblowing lessons at Blue Sage Studios. If you are interested in learning how to blow glass or just want to give it try, give us a call to schedule a one-on-one lesson, or take one of our glassblowing classes through the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
Like musicians, glassblowers are given the advice of "Don't quit your day job". As a result, the studio is typically open evenings and weekends, but with advance notice, we are able to schedule day tours without any problem. If you would like to schedule a specific time to visit the Blue Sage Studios, please call 405.601.2583 or email Andy Boatman at andy@bluesagestudios.com.
