Glass studios in Houston area
 

Hi ---
I will be traveling on business to Houston, and will have time to kill while
there. Can any of you tell me whether there are any glass stores/studios
with open torch time, or perhaps torchwork or fusing classes? I'd love to
be able to get my glass fix in while traveling. (I'll be somewhere near the
Katy Fwy between the loop and the beltway, but really would go anywhere in
the metro area --- I am killing time here!)

Thanks,

--Dave

When will you be here? I don't know offhand about glass studios, but I can
probably find out; I'd also be happy to play Native Guide around Houston if you
want to see any of the sights. E-mail me off-group for contact info.

Nah... just a beader with no day job, who enjoys showing off favorite parts of
the city. g

Galveston glass might have something. They have adds in most of the
magazines, and something on line I would imagine. Don't know much about him
other than he does some hot, and warm glass, and I think he does torch work
too.

I visited the Houstonstudioglass site. Do yourself a favor and check
this site out.

Will check out the other tomorrow.

Thank you, Liam.

Hi all, thanks for the responses, although as you can see, it appears that
Houston doesn't seem to have too big of a warm glass community...

I did check out the Houston Studio Glass site, looks like a great spot to
check out especially for hot glass workers.
