Prepare For Your Visit: Helpful Information

We are excited to share the magic of glass with you!

A quick note: Please arrive on time for your class. We recommend that you arrive a few minutes early, and if you are more than 15 minutes late, we may not be able to serve you. Please also make sure you and your group meet the minimum age requirements.

Read below for information about how to prepare, what to wear, and other helpful tips!

Before You Arrive

Sign The Waiver

Sign our Liability Waiver. (Note: if you purchased seats in a class or experience for more than just you, please make sure that everyone in your group has also signed the liability waiver.)

To speed up your check-in, please take a screenshot of the confirmation page (with the green check mark) or save your confirmation email from WaiverForever to show at the front desk in order to verify that you completed your waiver.

Sign the Waiver

Before you arrive

Wear Proper Attire

For all classes, you should wear closed-toe shoes (no heels or flip flops, etc.) Long hair must be tied back.
Safety glasses will be provided.

Hotshop- the hotshop can be warm! Especially when it is your turn to sit at the bench. Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to allow airflow.

Fusing and Flame studios - not as warm as the hotshop, here is how you can prepare:

Fusing- no clothing restrictions, wear what you are comfortable working in.
Flame- please wear cotton clothing (or other natural fibers) that you are comfortable working in.

During Your Visit

Food and Drink

STAY HYDRATED

Bring a bottle of water; we have a bottle-filling station.

You are welcome to cater outside food/drink into the studio, or bring your own refreshments. No hard alcohol is permitted, only beer and wine. We ask that no one drink alcohol before arriving or taking their turn to work in our studios. We provide water.

Team Building/Private Events

If you are planning to cater your event, please let us know so that we can set up tables and chairs for your guests. We also have a courtyard with picnic tables when the weather is suitable.

During Your Visit

Say Safe and Comfortable

Take Breaks

Take frequent rest breaks in a shaded or cooler area to allow your body to cool down.
Pace yourself and slow down if needed. Know your limits for working safely in the heat.

Other Precautions

Use cooling methods like damp rags around the neck.
Be alert for signs of heat illness in yourself and coworkers like dizziness, nausea, and muscle cramps.

The key is to stay hydrated, take breaks to cool down, wear proper clothing, use cooling techniques, and be aware of heat illness symptoms when working in hot conditions.

After Your Visit

Picking Up Your Glass

All glass work will be ready for pick up one week after your class unless otherwise notified. You will NOT be notified when your work is ready for pickup. If you are travelling to pick up your work, you are welcome to call ahead to ensure it is ready for pickup.

Pick Up Hours are 9 am - 4 pm on weekends and 10 am - 6 pm on weekdays.
All work will be on the pick-up shelves at the front entrance—please ask a staff member for help! Work will be bagged and labeled with the date of your class, the name you gave to your instructor (or group name), and what you made.
We will hold your work for up to 90 days.
