Welcome!
Playing with Fire! - Glassworks & Gallery is a state-of-the-art studio/teaching facility and gallery. We're happy to be offering classes and workshops in a great, well-outfitted studio space (13' ceilings, very comfortable and roomy)- the building is on Main Street in Rockland, just before the Ferry Terminal. The studio is located at the lower level/harborside of the building, and is, conveniently, right in the historic downtown area with shops, galleries, restaurants/lodging, the harbor, the new Lighthouse Museum, the Wyeth Center, and the Farnsworth Art Museum... all nearby.
The studio has 10 flameworking positions for instruction in both soft and hard glass with dual-fuel torches. Each position has quick disconnects to interchange a variety of torches, and easy access to several annealers. You may bring your own favorite torch if you so choose! Our fuel sources are: tanked Liquid Oxygen, and a 1000 gallon Liquid Propane tank. We have an exciting line-up of teachers and workshops planned for the coming year, as well as open-torch time! We also have a glass furnace (electric/Moly-D, 300 lb pot capacity) in the studio. We have electroforming set-ups, as well as a sand blasting station.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call. Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you! |
Ongoing Studio Classes
We offer classes in Glass Beadmaking - Flameworking, and off-mandrel work such as pendants, marbles, sculpture and special focus workshops. Our classes are in both soft, and hard glass. Classes repeat occasionally throughout the year.
Most of these classes are offered in the form of intensive 2 day classes.If you see a class that you are interested in and the schedule does not work for you, please contact us and we will try to set-up a class that will fit your needs. Create-a-Class: In addition to posted workshop dates, we’ll schedule a class
for three or more students… so if you’re ready to melt glass, gather your group and give us a call!
