Studio Rental

Ghost Pepper Glass is, first and foremost, a space for makers.  We have spared no expense to provide state-of-the-art equipment in a turn-key environment to enable glassmakers of all backgrounds and experience levels to realize their designs.  All that we ask is that renters take the time to understand proper operation, care and maintenance of our equipment in order to ensure safe working conditions and the longevity of our equipment.  If you are interested in renting our equipment, please get in touch to set up a studio orientation or private instruction to get started.  Participating in a class or orientation does not guarantee that you will be approved for studio rental.  Approval by a studio head is based on merit.

For those interested in flameworking/lampworking/torchworking, fused glass, cast glass, stained glass and other glass-making techniques, we do not currently have equipment or space in allocated for those types of classes.  In the future, we would like to set up a classroom for flameworking but that is still at least a year into the future.  We encourage you to investigate our neighboring business which offer some other ways of working with glass.
