Mark Payton Glass Center

Mark Payton Glass Center Located in the Glassworks building, the Mark Payton Glass Center offers "EDUTAINMENT" opportunities We offer Self Guided tours during business hours.

You can come in and see multiple forms of glass art being made. Guided Tours are offered for groups of ten or more with previous scheduling. The Walk-in Workshop is where you can create your own fused glass work of art. Adults and children ages 12 and older can learn how to cut flat glass to create their own functional or decorative artwork. Project prices in the WIW range from $12.50-$250, and we

have over 40 options to choose from! Reservations are required for groups of 5 or more. ***THE LATEST START TIME FOR THE WALK-IN WORKSHOP IS 2:30PM

Another popular choice is the Flame Your Own (FYO). During the FYO, you will work personally on a torch with owner/artist Mark Payton. Mark will guide you through the process, but you do about 95% of the actual work. There are a variety of project options to choose from ranging from snowman ornaments to pendants and Mark's famous Cootie Bugs! Although it is offered year-round, the Flame Your Own (FYO) is quickly becoming a holiday family tradition for both locals and out-of-towners. If you're just looking to add to your collection of art or jewelry, we also have an extensive gallery of fused, stained glass, and flameworked pieces.
