What You’ll Do

Where You’ll Meet
Brooklyn Glass puts up some pretty impressive numbers: 4,000 square feet of space, one onsite neon shop, one lampworking shop, and two furnaces that can melt through 1,300 pounds of glass in a single day. But its biggest assets are the innumerable artists who rent the studio’s space to create objects d’art both aesthetic and functional. As for the general public, they can enroll in glass-working classes that cater to everyone from beginners to advanced practitioners.
