How a glassblowing party works

  1. Request a quote

    Tell us your date, location and group size. We reply with pricing and available times.

  2. Confirm your space

    A flat area about 15′ × 15′, outdoors or in a well-ventilated covered space, with a standard outlet nearby.

  3. We fire up the furnace

    We bring the furnace, annealer, tools, safety gear and barriers, and set up a safe work zone.

  4. Every guest makes a piece

    Each guest picks colors and makes a sculpted flower, blown ornament or solid paperweight one-on-one with a glassblower. Pieces cool overnight and are ready the next day, or we ship them.

The studio

We’ve been blowing glass since 2017

Resort Glass started as one glassblower, one furnace and a love of being outdoors. Today our mobile studio brings the fire, the color and that first-gather moment to wherever your people are.

Every pumpkin, ornament and bowl in the shop comes off the same pipe, made one at a time and never manufactured.

Questions

Good to know

The questions we hear most, about the shop and about private events.

Shop

How long does shipping take?

In-stock pieces ship weekly and arrive within about 5 days. Made-to-order pieces ship in 2–4 weeks. We ship by UPS or USPS within the United States, and can’t ship to PO boxes.

Will my piece look exactly like the photo?

Close, but not exactly. Every piece is shaped by hand, so expect small differences in size, color and pattern. That’s what makes each one yours.

Private events

How many guests can you host, and where?

Up to 40 guests per event, anywhere in most of California. We’re based in Groveland, near Yosemite National Park.

How old do guests need to be?

Ages 6 and up. Guests ages 6 to 16 need a parent or guardian with them. No experience is needed.

How much does a private event cost?

Pricing depends on group size, location and length of the event. Request a quote and we’ll send exact pricing.
