Live Glass Demos
Join us at 6:30p and 8:30p for live glass demos in the hotshop and a live flameworking demo at 7:30p in the gallery. Get a drink and grab a seat. Those front row seats go fast.
You’ll feel the heat from the front row while Third Degree’s resident artists craft one-of-kind work.
The pieces being made won’t be ready that night, but the gallery has hundreds of pieces ready to take home.

Create your own unique glass tile In this experience, you will design your own glass tile. We’ll provide a pre-cut tile as a starting point and you’ll embellish with colored glass elements, securing additional glass in place, ready for firing. Following the firing we will adhere your choice of a magnet or bail for hanging.
The tile will be fired in our 1800-degree kiln and ready for pickup the following week.

Grab a drink at the bar at 6p then head to the conference room to get started at 7p. Work at your own pace until the session ends at 8:30p.
