RAISE A GLASS TO YOUR TOP-SHELF CREATION

Zen Glass Studio teaches the basics in the one-on-one Blow-Your-Own Pint Glass Workshop held in our Hotshop. In this one-hour experience, you will create a custom pint glass! You, the guest artist, choose your favorite colors for the surface of the pint glass you’ll be creating. Then you are introduced to glassblowing with a demonstration of thel ins and outs of what to do and what not to do. Then it’s time for you to balance and maneuver the molten glass.
You will turn and roll the glass on the end of a steel blowpipe. Starting the bubble and expanding the inside of the pint glass with your breath is a real treat! Your piece is finished when we break it off the “Punty”(steel blowpipe) and torch the bottom.
Our dedicated and knowledgeable artist staff are there to help you complete your perfect piece and place it in the annealing kiln or annealer, where it must soak and cool down over the next 12-24 hours.
Your finished pint glass is ready for pick up the next day (excluding Mondays – we are closed)) and can also be shipped or picked up at a later date.
Are you ready to make your own pint glass?
The Blow-Your-Own Pint Glass Workshop is best for people aged 13 and up as it involves working with molten glass. If you are looking for something to do in St. Petersburg after you’ve visited the Grand Central District and Sunken Gardens, come to Zen Glass Studio for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Zen Glass Studio has offered this great experience for over 15 years in the Tampa Bay area and have served 7 introduced upwards of 10,000 1st time glassblowers! Located in the Warehouse Arts District, Zen Glass Studio is central to all of St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay area.
TESTIMONIALS
Thanks so much to Christian for making the ornament workshop so easy! They have some fabulous works of art in their gallery and the service is superb! Can’t wait to see how our hand blown ornaments came out. I’m grateful to Christian for explaining how the color combos might look. Will be back!
Awesome night at Zen studios ~ the instructors were kind & very helpful. We’ll definitely be going back! 5*!!!
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!!!
It was an awesome experience. Being that it was my first time I was a little nervous. But luck was on my side because we had Austin helping us and explaining every step of the wonderful process. I was supper happy with my wine glass and so were my friends! Austin rocks !!! Give it a try …. you will not regret this amazing experience ❤️🍷

Just went to this studio because I had seen an event advertised called nude night. We were expecting artists, a glass blowing demonstration, body paint, and figure model sketching. When we arrived for the event two friendly gregarious staff members greeted us with the unfortunate news that the event had been cancelled. We were disappointed to miss what we had expected, but the friendly lady with blue hair and her jovial coworker were so welcoming and fun we had a good time anyways!
Had a great time celebrating my other sister birthday! I highly recommend it and appreciate all of the team. Great gift shop for a unique gift.
My cousin Josh is amazing at glass work. Definitely hit him up! 🙂

My wife and I participated in a pendant workshop on October 15, 2016 with instructor, Katy. It was fun to learn how glass pendants are made and to try to make a few pendants. We were able to practice with combining different colors of glass and also trying to make different shapes. Katy was great as an instructor! I have a lot of respect for the process of glass making.
Awesome! Hubby and I had so much fun playing with glass and fire. Katie was the best with helping us create our glasses. Thank you for offering the workshop.

Met some cool people at the show in Miami got the big coin from Josh aka Jash. And what a good bunch of salesman Zen had there. Makes me want to learn how to blow glass. Thanks, Josh and Zen btw thanks Jb and thank your girlfriend for the lil cupcake

If you are itching for an adventure, look no further! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. Josh went above and beyond to endure that we felt safe with social distancing, plenty of sanitizer and plexiglass between stations. He is very knowledgeable of his craft and helped us create exactly what we wanted. Already looking forward to our next trip
