Intro to Flameworking
About
A beginner torch-glass class in groups of no more than four: after a safety briefing you learn to heat glass, shape it with gravity and simple tools and layer colour, leaving with a glass pendant and a hand-shaped marble (collected later, once annealed). Friday 30 October, 6:30pm to 8pm, at Firebird Community Arts, 2651 W Lake St (California on the Green Line); ages 13 and up, under-18s with a guardian. $100 per ticket, booked through Dabble.

How it compares
- Beginner-friendly
- After work
At $100, this sits about the middle of the 10 single-session glass classes we list in Chicago. They run from $85 to $695, and the typical price is $100.
That works out to about $67 an hour for a 1.5-hour session.
It starts after work, which only 20% of the glass classes on our calendar do.

New to glass?
Glass classes split into fused glass (cutting and layering sheet glass that is melted in a kiln), stained glass (cut pieces joined with copper foil and solder) and hot glass (blowing or flameworking at a furnace or torch).
- Closed-toe shoes and natural-fibre clothing for hot-glass sessions; studios provide eye protection.
- Fused and stained glass suit a first visit. Glassblowing tasters are short and guided closely.
- Hot-glass classes are small and sell out first, especially before holidays.
Taking it home: Rarely on the day. Fused pieces go back in the kiln and blown glass cools overnight, so expect to collect it later or have it shipped.
