Helios Kiln Glass Studio, Austin

Forged from the collective passion of its founders, Helios Kiln Glass Studio provides a home for artisans to learn, work, and stock up on glass-making supplies. Artists themselves, the founders outfitted the space with everything they would want in a personal studio, including professional-grade kilns that serves as the venue's red-hot heart. In addition to renting out workspace to practiced artists, they offer plenty of classes to help first-timers discover a new passion. To fuel all the glass-fusing fun, they maintain an on-site shop, whose shelves brim with sheet glass and specialized materials such as fusing supplies and colored glass.
