Feeling the chill this winter? You could always warm yourself by the 2,000-degree glowing fire at Ignite Glass Studios. There, you can try your hand at Glassblowing Classes, a unique crafting experience that’s both different, and a little bit dangerous. Start by attending one of the studio’s free Sunday glass blowing demonstrations. From there, you can book a class to make your own piece, with options like drinking glasses, ornaments, or other decorative pieces. 

The classes are priced very reasonably—starting at just $65—and you get to keep the one-of-a-kind piece that you make. If you have something specific in mind, there is even an open class where you can discuss and create your idea with the masterful instructors at Ignite. Find all of the class options on the website, and give them a call if you’d like to see if this Sunday has one of the free demonstration sessions.  Ignite Glass Studio is located North Armour Street in the West Loop.
