Classes

2pm Half N Half 4/11

Experience a very special date this year at J. Draper Glass. Play together & understand how soft the glass is to make your creations. Each experience offers unique ways to help each other create their masterpiece.

Half N Half $400 per couple

This date provides both styles of glass making in the studio; solid and blown

Sun Catcher- You will learn how to roll into color, heat, flatten, and twist the glass into a hanging sun catcher.

Smooch Bowl with Foot- Learn how to roll into color, blow a large bubble and then flatten the air out to create a double-walled bowl! Your instructor then adds a foot on the bottom to give it a lift to provide more weight. This class shows how glass can change shape very fast. The finished project will be the size of a large cereal bowl.

1 ticket is good for two people!

a note on our colors

We hope you are enjoying shopping on our website. We strive to provide the best image of what we are offering for you. Please note sometimes the colors in our products may look a little different in natural light. Use this color guide to see the exact colors placed in front of a white background.

All of the glass has been hand-blown or sculpted — no machine helps us make our product but our seasoned hands and our love for the art.
