I don't have any experience with glass what can I do?

The majority of our classes are geared for people that have never played with the material before. If there is a prerequisite it will be noted in the class description.

Our Spark Workshops are designed for ages 8 & up in the glass blowing and flame working studios, and 5 & up in kiln forming(with parent or guardian). Our longer term classes are 14 & up.

When is your next class?

We offer a variety of classes in each of the 3 disciplines that we teach. If you have a specific date in mind looking at our calendar is a good first option. 

How do I sign up for a class?

Registration for all classes is done through our website. Visit our classes page.

What do I need to wear for class?

Closed toed shoes and long pants are preferred, but shorts may be worn during the hotter months. 100% cotton clothing is recommended. Please tie back long hair. Metal jewelry on your wrists and hands (watches, bracelets, rings) may get hot and you may prefer to remove them before working. If you are wearing a short sleeve shirt, we have Kevlar sleeves for arm protection from the heat. While in studio areas, protective eyewear must be worn at all times. Safety glasses are available, however you may wear your own safety glasses, sunglasses or prescription glasses.

Yes, you can find the form here.

What time should I get there for my class?

We encourage all participants to arrive at least 5 minutes prior to class starting.

How long are classes?

Classes can range from 20 -30 minutes, 2 to 3 hours, or up to 4 weeks in length

Do I get to take home what I make?

Yes, you do! However depending on the class it may take up to a week before your item(s) are ready. Your instructor will let you know when you should be able to pick up your work. We won’t contact you for pickup unless your item(s) have been here for a while. All items will be boxed with your name in the gallery.

What is a Spark Workshop?

Spark Workshops are your way to get involved with glass without a long-term commitment! These workshops are designed to take about 20 to 30 minutes per person. On the First Saturday, 1p – 5p and Fourth Friday, 5p – 9p of the month we offer a featured item for you to help make. Classes are held in each of our three studios and are done on a first come first served basis. Items vary throughout the year, and maybe seasonally themed. To see the variety of items offered click here.

Will someone call me when my piece(s) are ready for pickup?

Unless your piece(s) have been here for a long time we will not call you for pick up. Your instructor will let you know when they will be ready to pickup.

Can I do something now?

Most likely no. We don’t always have instructors on site, and the needed equipment may not be on.

I have a groupon for class. How do I use it?

Each groupon will have a unique 8 letter code that will be used a promotional code when you are registering online. Only one code can be used at one time to register for a class. Once you have completed your registration you will receive an email from eventbright.com. This will confirm your registration, and will also have a link to cancel the registration if needed, while keeping your code active. They are only good for the specific class that they have been purchased for. If you need a refund for your groupon you will need to contact groupon directly.

If I can't make it to class, what do I do?

We understand that circumstances may arise, and you may not be able to make it to your class. We will do our best to help get you into another class. If you used a groupon voucher we will release the voucher so that you can use it again. If you didn’t use a voucher we will coordinate with you via email to get you in to another class.

Do I need to wear a face mask while at SiNaCa?

No, we are no longer requiring students or guests to wear masks while at SiNaCa.
