Experience Glassblowing

Behind-the-Scenes

at California’s #1 Rated Glassblowing Studio

Gather your group of 8–16 for an unforgettable afternoon at 2BGlass. For just $245 per person, you’ll have the chance to experience the magic of shaping molten glass with your own hands.


Class begins with choosing your colors from hundreds of options, exploring the tools, and deciding on your shape. After a thorough demonstration, you’ll head to the bench with personal guidance from our owners and master glassblowers. With plenty of time for Q&A, expert instruction, and small-group attention, you’ll walk away with both a one-of-a-kind creation and a new appreciation for this mesmerizing craft.

After class, explore our 5,000 sq. ft. studio and boutique, filled with handblown treasures—each piece even more meaningful now that you’ve experienced how they are made.
