Schools and Studios

There are some great institutions offering glassblowing classes on a regular basis. Once you know the fundamentals of glassblowing it is recommended to explore more by taking classes or attending demonstrations. This is not an exhaustive list but hopefully will provide a good jumping off place. 

The Pratt Fine Arts School in Seattle - Chuck has taken a couple of classes here.

Eugene Glass School - Roy has taken classes here from Karen Willenbrink-Johnsen

Corning Museum of Glass


Pittsburgh Glass Center

Penland School of Crafts

The Glass Art Society - The annual conference is in Louisville in 2010. They have classes before and after the conference and offer great demos. The technical area allows one to examine glassblowing tools in order to find the right fit for the individual.
