Revere Glass School

Educational Programs

Thank you for your interest in learning glass and renting time. Listed below is our pricing structure for Workshops, Continually-Offered Lessons, and Studio Time:

Workshops:

Revere Glass offers intensive workshops with other prominent artists from around the country. These workshops offer students a chance to learn specific techniques from the pioners of our industry.

We also offer two observer spots per workshop. This is for an intermediate or advanced student who do not need to blow glass and can learn just by watching, asking questions and taking notes.
