Went to watch the glass blowing & see the artist products. In luck met two and got to enjoy their company & insight on the medium in Eugene. Alejandro was great and loved his work. Cannot wait to come back. I purchased some beautiful paperweights, a lovely vase and my favorites a marble w/ opal and a blown fish. The fish is going in my water fountain. So excited. read more

Studio West - Paperweights getting re-wrapped for my flight. - Specialty Schools Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Today Studio West Glassblowing had a special Glass Float Drop In event posted to their Facebook page. All we had to do was show up, no appointment needed, and make your own glass float. We got there fairly early and there were already a number of people there with more arriving every few minutes. We signed in and chose the color scheme we wanted, then Ciara and Alejandro would prep the molten glass ingots on the tubes for blowing. We were given very good instructions and shown the proper methods to use while we were assisted with the project. Taking a glob of molten glass, applying colors, blowing, shaping, reheating... this is such a creative outlet, not to mention really cool to have a beautiful glass ornament that you created. After the float is made, Ciara will cut it from the blow tube and make a small molten glass stand for it. The float is positioned on the base and adheres as one piece. It is then moved over to a slow cooling kiln where it will slowly cool down overnight. Tomorrow I get to go pick up the finished creation and bring it home. read more

Such a fun experience glass blowing!! My fiancé took me here as a surprise date and I loved the experience. Alejandro taught us and the rest of the group so much about glass blowing and demonstrated to us one by one how to create the project we wanted to!! I made an ornament, but you can make paperweights, wine stoppers, plates... so many options!! The next time I visit Eugene I wanna make more, it was so fun! read more
