Entry No. 45 — the Boulder file — filed under: hands-on

BGOLD Glass

A soft-glass hot shop in Lafayette, on the eastern edge of Boulder County (about 20 minutes outside Boulder), run by glassblower Bryan Goldfeder and a NoBo Art District member. Bryan opens his furnace for one-on-one and small-group studio experiences by appointment. You start with the tools and gather molten glass at the bench, then shape and blow a piece of your own with the artist guiding your hands. Because it is an appointment-only working hot shop rather than a class mill, the session is intimate and you are doing the real thing at the glory hole, not a watered-down demo.

The move: Book a private hot-shop session and gather and blow your own glass piece side by side at the furnace.

📍 Before you go Open by appointment only; contact Bryan directly (303-910-1277 / [email protected]) to arrange a session and confirm the current studio location.
