About us

A public glass studio for Morris County.

We're a public-access glassblowing school, studio and gallery. Since opening in 2017 our aim has been simple: give people of every age and background a hands-on, joyful way into the art of glass, and add something to the arts and culture of Morris County.

Who you'll work with

Jason Curtis shaping a red glass piece

Jason Curtis

Glassblowing instructor

Jason has worked with glass for more than 30 years, drawn to the heat and the movement of it, almost like a dance. His pieces are built in layers, like chapters of a life, combining functional work with sculpture. You'll find his work at craft fairs around the region.
