The Furnace: A Glassworks

The Furnace is a glassworks and gallery in Lakewood, about ten minutes from downtown Denver, that offers hands-on taster workshops for one to six people. The session is a two-to-four-hour intro where you work molten glass with an instructor rather than spectate, making it an easy way for a pair to try hot glass without committing to a full course. It doubles as a gallery so there's finished work to browse on site.

The move: Book a two-person taster session and each gather and shape molten glass into your own object with a glassblower coaching every step.

📍 Before you go Taster workshops run 2-4 hours by reservation for 1-6 people; finished glass requires annealing before pickup.
