About this event

🔥Melt it. Shape It. Take it Home.

This isn't just a demo- this is your chance to step up to the torch and experience the thrill of melting and shaping glass into your own wearable pendant to take home.

Ages 10+. 20 minute Class. No experience necessary!

Please Read All Details Below! Limited Spots Available!

20 Minute Workshop Overview

This is a fast-paced beginner workshop — not a precision class. You’ll have one main attempt at your piece, and that’s part of the experience. Our advice: Embrace the imperfections and have fun. Please show up prepared by reading everything below! See you at the torch!

• Show Up 10 minutes Before Your Class Time: We cannot accommodate late arrivals by even 1 minute and there are no refunds. Please plan for parking and walking delays. More info on expected delays and parking below.

• Check-In: For check-in all we need is the Name on the Ticket(s). Once confirmed, each participant signs a waiver — a parent or guardian must sign for anyone under 18. All loose belongings will go in our storage bins. Long hair must be tied back. Everyone gets a pair of safety glasses.

• Choose Your Design and Colors (Photos in Gallery Below): Pick one of 5 designs to make; Leaf, Heart, Twisty, Pickle or Medallion Choose 2 colors from 28 options to personalize your piece. Skulls and Cups are not options for the workshop!

• Safety Briefing: Before anyone touches a torch, you must go through a quick safety briefing. Pay attention — it matters.

• Melt and Shape Your Piece: This is your moment! You’ll get your own torch and workstation. Paired with one other student, your instructor guides both of you step by step through making your piece. At the end, your instructor adds the loop so it can be worn as a necklace.

• Cool Down and Pick-Up: Now your instructor will put your finished piece in vermiculite to cool for about 20 minutes. You’ll get a pickup code based on your class time and workstation. Come back in 20, give us your code, and you’ll leave with your pendant, a necklace, and gift bag.

Refund Policy:

No refunds will be issued unless the event is cancelled. Exceptions may be considered case by case at our discretion.

Workshop Safety & Participation Requirements

Ikonic Glass workshops are 20-minute, hands-on experiences involving open flames exceeding 2,000°F, molten glass, and specialized equipment. Participation carries inherent risks of injury.

Each instructor supervises two participants simultaneously. To participate safely, individuals must be able to understand and promptly follow safety instructions, maintain control of their movements and equipment, demonstrate sufficient finger dexterity to manipulate glass, and stand for up to 30 minutes.

Additional Safety Requirements:

• Closed-toe shoes recommended.

• Long hair must be tied back; loose clothing and dangling accessories must be secured or removed.

• Participants must arrive sober and follow all safety instructions.

• A signed liability waiver is required; participants under 18 need a parent or legal guardian's signature.

Accessibility & Accommodations

We welcome participants of varying abilities and provide reasonable accommodations where possible. However, our instructors cannot provide continuous one-on-one supervision, specialized behavioral support, or extensive physical assistance beyond standard instruction.

If additional assistance or accommodations may be needed, please contact us before purchasing tickets to discuss available options. Essential safety requirements cannot be waived, and accommodations cannot fundamentally alter the workshop.

Ikonic Glass reserves the right to deny or discontinue participation when an individual poses a safety risk to themselves or others.
