Frequently asked questions about classes
Please read and then scroll down for the links to book classes. More info in each class section below.
Why don’t I see any openings on the calendar? That means all available spots are already booked or the date you are looking for is too far in the future and we haven’t added the day to our schedule yet, we add classes on a monthly basis. Please check back to see if there have been any cancelations or days added, and sign up for our email list and watch our socials for updates.
How do I make more than one item during my appointment or book for a group of people to all go together? Decide the total items (e.g. 6 ornaments) you or your group want to make and chose that option on the booking page. It will show you where there is a spot for all back to back. We only need the information of the person booking the appointment, not for each person in the group.
What can I make? We offer ornaments, flowers, paperweight workshops and seasonally pumpkins.
How much per class? Please refer to each class section below for pricing.
How long does it take? Ornaments - 15 minutes, flowers and pumpkins - 20 minutes and paperweights approximately 1 hour. Then the piece needs to cool slowly overnight. They will be available for pick up the next day from noon on.
Can you ship the item that I make? Yes! Shipping can be arranged on the day of the appointment.
What is the age limit? The minimum age to make a ornament is 6. For a flower and pumpkin 16 years old. And 18 for paperweights.
How do I move or cancel my appointment? Please go to the email you received when booking to modify your appointment. You can do this up to the day before your appointment, any later and we have to do it for you.
How should I dress? Please wear closed toe shoes, long pants and layers on top as it gets very hot near the furnace. It's a good idea to bring a water bottle as well.
How many people are in a class? Each 15 minute ornament session, or 20 minute Flower or Pumpkin (depending on class choice) is for one person only. Friends and family are welcome to watch and take photos from the front of the viewing area (shown below) as everyone takes turns for their appointment! We only need the information of the person booking the appointment, not for each person in the group.
Paperweights can now accommodate 2 people sharing the experience to make one paperweight.
Cancelation policy: Please let us know if you can't make it before your appointment and we will refund you! We reserve the right to not refund no-show appointments. Please be considerate of the glassblowers time and others who would have loved to have the appointment spot. Thank you!
IF YOU FEEL SICK, PLEASE STAY HOME. Thank you for considering others! For any other questions please email: glass@hudsonbeachglass.com
