Dating back to the first century B.C., glassblowing is one of the most popular techniques in glass art. If you would like to give this time-honored craft a try, several local studios have you covered. They'll help you make everything from ornaments to paperweights. The studios near our Tampa apartments include:

Morean Glass Studio

Beginning Glassblowing is offered on Monday nights between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Over the course of four sessions, you'll learn basic vocabulary, hot shop safety, and how to produce solid glass sculptures and blown objects.
