KT Glassworks

This West Adams glass studio specializes in colorful, flowing decor and custom commissions, but we think most Angelenos will be interested in its excellent glassblowing classes. If you’ve always been entranced by molten glass, the expense is absolutely worth it for the three-hour single-student ($330) or four-hour two-student ($250 per person) lessons, in which you’ll get some hands-on assistance as you sculpt and blow orbs, birds, vases and bowls. If you already know what you’re doing, you can also opt for reserving some studio time with particular pieces of equipment.
