CityArts Glassblowing Workshops
CityArts, Wichita's municipal arts center, runs a working hot shop and offers one-day glassblowing workshops for ages 16 and up. In the introductory paperweight workshops you gather molten glass from the furnace and shape your own two pieces with guidance, learning hot-shop safety and basic tools along the way. Real furnace glassblowing is a rare hands-on date option, and the single-day format means no multi-week commitment.
The move: Take the one-day paperweight workshop and each gather and shape your own piece of molten glass at the furnace, ending up with two keepsakes.
📍 Before you go One-day workshops (around $65) fill fast and are date-specific; multi-week classes often waitlisted. Wear natural-fiber clothing and closed-toe shoes; age 16+.
