Two studios. Two Experiences. One extraordinary place to create.
Explore Classes
Karg has been synonymous with glass art since 1990. Today, that tradition continues in two distinct studios: the hot shop, where molten glass is blown and shaped by hand, and the fusing studio, where light and color come together in a quieter, equally captivating way.
Both experiences are guided by working artists who love what they do and love sharing it. Whether you are coming solo, bringing a friend, or arriving with a group in tow, you will leave with something you made yourself and a reason to come back.
CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Karg’s Blow Your Own offers the traditional experience in the art of shaping molten glass.
Step into the hot shop and work alongside one of our glassblowers to create your own one-of-a-kind glass piece. Whether you are blowing an ornament, shaping a paperweight, or forming a pumpkin, the experience is unlike anything else, and the piece you take home is proof. Finished pieces go through a slow cooling process and will be available for pickup at the gallery in 7 to 10 days.
Make the Blow Your Own experience part of your family or group’s annual tradition, as you build your own collection of glass art.

Ornaments | Paperweights | Pumpkins
