FAQs

I have no previous glass experience is that OK?
Unless specified in the class description, all levels are welcome to the class.

Is there a glass blowing class?
We do not blow glass here at the Mt Rainier facility. We currently have a one-time-a-year excursion course to Penland School of Craft in North Carolina, to satisfy the need for hot glass. With the addition of our lampworking classes, we are able to do hot glass torch work in small scale.

How do I register for a class?
Please call or email to hold a space and mail a $50 deposit check made out to ‘Washington Glass School’ to Washington Glass School, 3700 Otis Street, Mt Rainier, MD 20712. Be sure to include the course name and your phone number on the check.

Is there parking?
Heaps of parking along the street & right in front of the door!

Are you near a Metro Stop?
We are 2 miles north of the Red Line - Rhode Island Metro. A shuttle service is also available from the school to the Metro - please call ahead to make arrangements.

If you want to take a bus from the Metro, take the 83 BUS towards CHERRY HILL or the T18 BUS towards NEW CARROLLTON; getting off at 37th Street, and walk down to the school.

What should I bring / wear?
Most classes have all materials provided unless noted otherwise – as for clothing, comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting messy. Natural materials are preferred; no open-toe shoes (including sandals, flip-flops).

What are the age limits for students?
The youngest student age is 18; with special arrangements for schools, the minimum age for a student is 13. No one under 13 is allowed enrollment in classes.

Do you do glass repairs?
No.
