The torch sputters to life and warm light pools over a small bench; molten glass rotates like a slow planet as the instructor guides your hands. In a compact studio a few minutes off Alexander and Lamb, the heat and focus compress time: 75 minutes to watch, learn, and shape glass into two finished pieces you can carry away.
