About us
Molten Moments Glassblowing Circle is a low-key gathering for anyone who loves working with hot glass, whether you've been on the bench for years or just finished your first paperweight. We started this group because the studio can feel solitary, and it turns out most of us would rather share the furnace, trade tips, and watch each other's pieces come out of the annealer.
Our meetups are casual and hands-on when we can manage it. Some afternoons are open torch sessions where people bring whatever they're stuck on, a bubble that won't behave, a color combination that went muddy, or a stem that keeps drooping. Other times we just pull up chairs, bring coffee, and talk shop: gathering techniques, shop safety, where to find decent clear, how to keep a piece from cracking on the way home. Beginners are genuinely welcome, and nobody expects you to have your own tools.
What we care about most is the rhythm of the craft and the people around the bench. Come to watch, come to make, come to ask the questions you feel silly asking in a class. If you've ever been hypnotized by a glowing gather on the end of a pipe, this is your crowd.
