Glass Making Workshops |
 Oglebay Institute’s Glass Museum is one of the few places in our region where the beautiful art of glass making can still be observed and experienced by beginners. In addition to watching demonstrations, guests can try their hands at the craft by working one-on-one with a glass artisan.
Participants will have quality instruction from an experienced glass worker and get step-by-step personal training. At the end of the session, they have a beautiful piece of art glass to take home, and the best part is- they created it themselves.
Workshops include: Beginning Glass Bead Making, Beginning Glassworking and Paperweight Making Class.
