Tim and Katherine have been teaching glassblowing since 1999. Their goal is to teach
the students how to use all the equipment and tools properly so they can some day create
their own glass designs. After one twelve course our students are able to rent out the
studio space to blow glass alone. Most of our students get to know each other and rent out the space
together to keep the costs down and help each other blow. It's a friendly learning atmosphere.
Glass blowing classes are held at the studio in Elora,
20 minutes north of Guelph or 1.5 hours drive north west of Toronto.


Our students will also receive
20% off all purchases from the
showroom on the day of their classes.

Testimonials...

Hi Tim and Katherine

I want to thank you for a tremendously successful program with our Annual Meeting companions.  They absolutely raved about the experience and LOVED receiving their pieces the next day.  It was very kind of you to include a couple of balls for those who didn't want to participate.  They were thrilled.

I am so glad that we could include some local artisan culture in our program.  It's very important to us to support local small business.  

All the best,

Jeannie Shore
Manager, Member & Co-operative Relations


I have been blowing glass as a hobby for probably 10 years now, and have taken lessons from, probably most of if not all the top glass blowers in Ontario. Likewise I have blown at many different studios.

I would rate Tim and Katherine as probably the best teachers, I have had. They taught me how to blow as a beginner, and I still regularly take lessons from them.  They are able to match their teaching with my skill level, not a very common attribute.

The quality of facilities in glass blowing varies tremendously. Their facilities are first rate, and the quality of molten glass they use is simply the best money can buy. Only a few studios use this quality of glass, and none of the primarily teaching locations use it.

Simply put, I think you will not find better teachers, or a better location to take glass blowing lessons, regardless of your level.

Sincerely,

Rodger Crane

Team Building Workshops!!!

We have hosted over 30 team building workshops over the past couple of years and
have a great time with the people we meet. They all love trying glassblowing and
most of them have never done anything like this before!

Team Building I: Your team can come and try their hands at the art of glassblowing.
They will each create their own paperweight...with the help of the others!
Each member will get to choose the colours for their piece
and some elements of the design.
There is also an area for refreshments for you to bring.
Coffee will be served.

Team Building II Classes now available: If your team has learned the basics
in the paperweight workshop, perhaps they are ready for blowing an ornament!!!
They will each create their own glass ornament...with the help of the others, of course!
Each member will get to choose the colours for their ball
and some elements of the design.
There is also an area for refreshments for you to bring.
