Anywhere to learn glass blowing near NE Ohio?

Question

I know I can go to Corning, NY - CMOG, and do the "mini-class", and I probably will, but I'd like to get a little more in-depth & learn more!

Answer 1

Hi:

I just did a yahoo search on 'glass blowing studios in ohio' and found a site called glassaxis in Columbus - they appear to have classes.

I also found what looks like a private studio in Toledo.

Maybe if you try this search and poke through the sites that are retrieved, you can find one that you'd like. Hope this helps, and I hope you find some great classes and have fun!

Answer 2

There are numerous glass studios in NE Ohio and SW Michigan that are much closer than CMOG, which is very nice. Contact Kent State University and Bowling Green State U, both of which have glass programs. The Toledo Art Museum has a stunning new building for its glass collection and has a dual studio set up for classes and demonstrations. Michigan Glass Month is held every spring and their web site should list studios involved. The glass tool maker Steinert, in Kent, has a list of places.
