Workhouse Arts Center - Glasshouse Building 7 of the Workhouse Arts Center - dedicated to glass! The Glasshouse now has a retail supply store open to the public.

The Workhouse Arts Center Glass Program is a collective and highly interactive environment with the goal of the promotion of the Glass Arts through research, education and outreach. The Glass program housed in Building W-7 at the Workhouse is a fully equipped facility with a kiln room, cold-working room, flame working classroom and a multi-purpose flat working room used for instructional purposes in fusing, stained glass and glass casting. We also have two sand-blasting units, 9 table-top bench mini-cc torches, a fully stocked store, and extensive shelving and workspace(s) in each classroom. Our studio facility is also currently home to 6 resident glass artists who occupy one of our 9 private or shared studio spaces, and whose works range from the functional to the sculptural. The facility also houses our retail glass gallery for the exhibition and sale of resident artists' artworks. The Workhouse Glass program offers a variety of classes for ages 13 and up in kiln casting and forming, glass jewelry, fusing, stained glass, flameworking (borosilicate and soft glass) and bead making. Our Instructor are emerging pre-professional or professional glass artists and/or glass art educators. As is our goal with all of our visual arts classes, each student is given individual attention and provided with a wide array of philosophies and techniques for accomplishing their individual goals and complementing their work in glass. We have a full range of art glass for sale. Everyone will love the selection of Bullseye 90 COE sheet glass, frits, powders, stringers and dichroic coated glass. Flame workers will find a large selection of Effrette, Creation is Messy and Double Helix. A large selection of Schott borosilicate Rods and Tubes in various sizes are stocked at all times.

Did you know negative ions create positive vibes?

Deb Eldredge is August’s featured artist in the Glasshouse with her show, ‘Love for Negative Ions.’

Natural air purifiers and mood enhancers, negative ions are present around oceans, moving water, in sunlight, and after thunderstorms. This group of work represents those locations where our mood improves, the air is cleaner and smells fresh because those invisible, happy little negative ions.

If you missed Deb’s show, take a look at these amazing works then stop by the Glasshouse for more positive vibes!
