Looking for a fun activity for families, couples and groups of all ages in St. Petersburg? Look no further! At Zen Glass Studio, you can make-your-own glass piece to take home with you as a souvenir! Wineglasses, pint glasses, glass pendants, paperweights, glass ornaments and more can easily be created in our Warehouse Arts District studio.

Our skilled teachers – probably one of the owners – will help you create a unique glass art piece using artists tools and materials. You pick the colors and sometimes styles, stand in for a demonstration and then are turned loose! Once your glass masterpiece is finished it goes into the annealer to cure overnight and then is ready for you to take home (we ship, too!).

In addition to Make-Your-Own glass workshops and classes, Zen Glass Studios is happy to offer residential and commercial glass art design services, custom glass art, glass memorials, glass awards and more. Visit Zen Glass Studio to learn more during St. Petersburg’s Second Saturday Art Walk or throughout the week!

GLASSBLOWING WORKSHOPS

Looking for a good time with friends or family while you are in St. Petersburg? Zen Glass Studio & Gallery offers workshops for first-timers to try their hand and have a memorable experience.

“Hotshop” Workshops (Traditional Venetian-style glassblowing out of a furnace and glory hole with a long metal pipe) includes; “Blow-Your-Own Pint Glass”, “Blow-Your-Own Glass Ornament“, and “Make-Your-Own Glass Paperweight.” Currently, “Hotshop” workshops are only available on Saturdays. “Flameshop” Workshops (glassblowing on torches) include; “Make-Your-Own Wineglass,“ “Make-Your-Own Glass Beads,” and “Make-Your-Own Glass Pendants” are available Tuesday through Sunday.

Make-Your-Own Wineglass

Zen Glass Studio brings its expertise into full swing with the most popular glassblowing workshop we offer – the Make-Your-Own Wineglass Workshop. In this one-hour experience, you, the guest artist, choose your favorite colors and hand-select the preferred shaped wineglass top and bottom.

Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff are there to help you until your piece is completed and placed in the annealing kiln or annealer, where it must soak and cool down over the next 12-24 hours.

Blow-Your-Own Glass Ornament

Zen Glass Studio teaches the basics in the one-on-one Blow-Your-Own Ornament Workshop held in our Hotshop. In this one-hour experience, you, the guest artist, will choose your favorite colors for the surface of the piece you’ll be creating. Our instructor will introduce you to glassblowing with a run down of safety, balance, and techniques. Then it’s time for you to balance and maneuver the molten glass.

You will turn and roll the liquefied glass through your colors on the end of a steel blowpipe. Starting the bubble and expanding the inside of the ornament with your breath is a real treat!

Zen Glass Studio teaches the basics in the one-on-one Make-Your-Own Glass Paperweight Workshop held in our Hotshop. In this roughly one-hour experience, you, the guest artist, will choose your favorite colors for the piece you’ll be creating. Our instructor will introduce you to glassblowing with a rundown of safety, balance, and techniques. Then it’s time for you to balance and maneuver the molten glass.

Ryan Dorsett

The vibe you get from this place amazing. The people are all so welcoming. Great community and area.

From the moment I set foot in the hot shop I was treated like family and put at ease. Weirdie and Alex are 2 of the coolest human beings and made my wife and I feel like the glass was never unmanageable. My wife uses her wine glass all the time and I gave my pendant to my daughter who adores it.

The experience was so great in fact, I’ve signed up for beginner classes, bought my own gear and plan to keep coming back and doing this as a hobby.

Bring your kids, bring your significant others, bring your parents. Glass is fun to play with and it’s one of those things that’s easy to pick up and hard to put down! Zen Glass Studio is the place to make it happen. I am so glad I found them!

Today my work partner in crime and I took our amazing customer service team for a class on pendant and bead making – they had so much fun! Josh & team were so patient with the 4 of us and really let us experiment and explore the artists inside. I was proud of both our girls – Karin and I need more practice heehee. This was 100% an awesome time and highly recommend it!!!

My kids had lost their father a couple of years back. Josh at Zen Glass made a wonderful collection of custom glass figurines, incorporating their dad’s ashes. He was careful to send updates and make sure they were exactly as I wanted through the whole process. Josh is an amazing artist.

Dina Rivera

Love these folks!

Foster Parent

GREAT TIME. Would do it again in a heartbeat! Great way to learn the art

Joe Dougherty Jr.

To say Zen Glass and it’s crew are great is a disservice to them. You can feel and see the passion they have for this as soon as you get there. Austin, who was teaching/showing my wife and I how to do everything was amazing. The gallery and store are amazing. The talent to make the things they make with glass is insane. My wife and I can’t wait to come back to try something else. Even our son asked if he could take a class with us next time. The experience was unforgettable.

Michael Reed
Austin Buchanan

If you are itching for an adventure, look no further! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience.

This place is awesome. We did a great easy beginner project where we heated up some glass, added color to it, and shaped it how we wanted. The amazing staff there then turned our amorphous works of art into functional stemware. A very neat experience. I can’t recommend enough.

There was a Groupon offered for a workshop that I took advantage of with my boyfriend. We came in to make a glass pendent. Josh was the artist that worked with us. He was very informative and also allowed for us to have space to work on our pendent. He intervened when he needed to and made the experience enjoyable. I am looking forward to coming back and learning more!
