Louisville Glassworks, the only facility of its kind in the country, brings together three different glass studios under one roof. Production work from the studios can be found and purchased in the Glassworks galleries, as well as works from local, regional, national and international artists. Visit Flame Run at Glassworks and the Mark Payton Glass Center! In addition to the studios, we have sever
al unique spaces which can be used for special events such as weddings, receptions, holiday parties, etc. Flame Run at Glassworks' Blow Your Own Program and the Walk-In Workshop offer hands-on opportunities for the public. Visit Glassworks to see and experience glass in a whole new light. It truly is the HOTTEST place in town. BYO (Blow Your Own) Hot Blown Glass
Try your hand at the art of glassblowing. Experience isn't necessary, but having a good time is! A Glassworks artist will assist with the technical side of the process, guiding you step by step, allowing you to choose colors, actually blow into the blowpipe and use traditional glassblowing tools. Create a unique gift for someone special or keep it as a remembrance of your exciting adventure in the Hotshop. BYO gift certificates are also available and guaranteed to spark delight. MYO (Make Your Own) Cold Fused Glass
Design and create original fused glass art in the Walk-In Workshop. Participants learn to cut and layer glass, fabricating unique patterns which are then fired in a kiln. These pieces can then be slumped over molds to create a variety of fun and useful objects, such as platters, bowls, clocks and vases just to mention a few. The Walk-In Workshop is the perfect place for team-building outings, birthday parties, field trips or dates. FYO (Flame Your Own) Flameworked Glass
