Sanctuary Glass Studio, which is Louisiana's only air conditioned studio, is located in downtown Shreveport. We offer Create-Your-Own Glassblowing Workshops Wednesday through Sunday (See schedule below). You can book a workshop by clicking the "Book a Workshop button above." Its great for one to 30 people. Besides just doing it by. yourself, you can do it for date night or for your family. We give special discounts for 10 or more people. Our most popular celebration is birthday parties or group events. We offer catering if you want food and drink at your event. Just call 504-390-4377 for more questions or to book an event.
So how does it work? First you select the item you want to make. We have 20 items to choose from and the cost will range from $48 to $78 per item. We have special $35 items on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Once you select your item. you get to design it by selecting one of 12 different color options. Then you get to gather the glass on a blow pipe or punti. You then heat the glass and blow or shape it. You will paddle the glass or use tweezers to pull at the glass to sculpt it. You do about 50% of the work so you really feel like you are creating the piece. We do the hard part!
We ask that you wear closed toed shoes and natural fibers. We have safety glasses for you unless you have your own reading or prescription glasses.
Glassblowing and Glass Sculpting are so exciting. Please follow Sanctuary Glass Studio on Facebook to see more photos.
