Think Spring. In this introductory workshop, you’ll use cold shop etching tools to engrave your own glass plate and create a unique spring design. Get inspired by the season, think flowers, leaves, butterflies, or anything that captures the freshness of the season. Once your plate is complete, you’ll bring your artwork to life with ink, transferring your design onto paper.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with both your engraved glass plate and your printed work, ready to display, gift, or admire.

Find your calm in the flame. In this introductory workshop, learn the basics of using a 3,000°F torch and shape molten glass into colorful fidget stones. Guided by a skilled instructor, you’ll apply color and surface texture to make it your own. Perfect for finding some focus, a tool for fidgeting, or great for gifting.

TEENS ONLY workshops are a great introduction to the world of glassmaking, just for teens. Teens will step into the PGC studios and explore the heat, color, and creativity of working with glass in the flame shop, hot shop, kiln shop, or cold shop– alongside other teens. Teens can come solo and make new friends who share an interest in glassmaking, or sign up with a friend to share in the experience.

Looking for a more in-depth experience? Check out our afterschool SiO₂ classes, full-day MOLTN workshops, or summer boot camp for even more hands-on glassmaking fun.

PGC is committed to facilitating access for all young people. We offer full- and half-tuition scholarships for middle school and high school students based on application strength.
