Glass Lab

The Englewood Arts Glass Lab is brought to you in partnership with UMB Bank.

Studio Access

Ceramic Studio Access

Want regular access to a ceramics studio without the overhead of building your own? Our studio rental membership gives you access to shared equipment and workspace so you can focus on making.

What's Included

Membership is $35/month, billed automatically. As a renter, you'll have access to:

  • Throwing wheels

  • Wedging tables

  • Extruder

  • Slab roller

  • Communal work tables

  • Ceramic sinks

Studio hours: 7 AM – Midnight, Monday through Sunday.

What You'll Need to Bring

Membership covers equipment and workspace only. Renters are responsible for supplying their own:

  • Clay

  • Tools

  • Glaze

  • Any other consumable materials

Firing Your Work

Studio renters are welcome to participate in our kiln firings alongside everyone else. See our Kiln Firings page for current pricing and how to schedule a firing.

Storage

Standard studio rental doesn't include dedicated storage space for works-in-progress or supplies. Plan to bring materials as you need them and take finished/greenware pieces with you between visits.

If you're building your practice and want dedicated space of your own, ask us about renting one of our 8' x 10' private studio spaces, a good next step for renters who've outgrown shared communal space.

Production Club

Ready to take your glassblowing practice to the next level? Join the Production Club, a hands-on training program for renters, interns, and community members who want to build real experience in production glassblowing.

Under the guidance of Kevin, our Studio Manager, you'll train on small-scale Englewood Arts production pieces — sharpening your control over color, repetition, and consistency. It's a chance to log serious hours at the bench, build muscle memory, and grow from making one-off pieces to working with the speed and precision production glass demands.

What to Expect

  1. Meets twice a month, typically Monday evenings

  2. Hands-on training led by Kevin Miller

  3. Focus on color work and repetition techniques

  4. A path toward being able to step in and support Make-Your-Own (MYO) sessions when we need extra hands

Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills or become a more integrated part of the studio community, the Production Club is a great way to get more glass time - and make a real contribution to the shop.

Glass Blowing 101

October 28, November 4, 11, & 18 at 6:00 PM

Experience the amazing world of glassblowing for yourself with our hands-on hot glass class!

This is a 4-week experience. Participants will learn all about the materials, tools, and skills needed to transform molten glass into a work of art, and our glassblowers will work with you one-on-one to help you create your own one-of-a-kind glass art piece. This is intended for beginners or people that need a refresher with no prior experience necessary.

Third Friday Demo

Every Third Friday at 6:30 PM

TEENS: A hands-on opportunity to develop real skills in a professional ceramic studio, experimentation very much welcome.

Over a week of half-day sessions, you'll try your hand at wheel throwing, hand-building, glazing, and surface design. You'll learn the fundamentals, push past them, and walk away with a collection of pieces that are entirely your own, some exactly as planned, some better than expected. Whether you're already obsessed with ceramics or just looking to try something new, a week of clay and play? What could be better.
