JJGaffers Glass Blowing Studio

10/02/2026

The power going out on the south side of town, must have affected my furnace this morning. When I came in this afternoon everything was off. I will not be blowing glass tonight at First Friday and hope to be up shortly. We do have a good collection of pumpkins available.

We're cleaning out our studio and came across these pieces that were never claimed by students. If you took a class and they are yours, let us know!

Mainframe Studios has lost power. They have requested everyone stay away until things are resolved. We will need to restart everything after the power is restored. So we are currently closed till we know more. Fingers crossed it's not too long.

This was a fun piece to make. I think I'm going to make a couple different versions of this.

Class times are finally starting to open up after the Christmas rush. If you are wanting to make a Mother's Day gift or glass art for your garden now is a good time to schedule. We also have gift cards available for her to treat herself to a class.
