Have your next party at the Glassworks Walk-In Workshop!  We can host birthday parties for children or adults, engagement parties, bridal showers, baby showers, office parties, anniversary parties, ladies night out, or any other reason you can think of to celebrate together.

You bring the cake and ice cream, and we’ll provide the activity.  You may also decorate the party space in the workshop as you like, (please, no confetti).  We clean up after you leave!

We provide all glass supplies, tools, and instruction for your glass craft activities. Some fusing and slumping projects may be picked up one week after your visit.

We require a minimum of 6 guests to reserve the party space.  Available during the day, or any evening, after regular business hours, we can stay open later to accommodate a private party.
