Land-Adventures at Glass Arts Collective: Wine & Creativity

Glass Arts Collective in Westlake Village, California, is a hands-on glass art studio offering a wide range of fused glass and stained glass classes, workshops, and open studio sessions. The studio provides beginner-friendly introductions and intermediate-level courses, allowing students to develop cutting, grinding, soldering, fusing, slumping, and draping skills.

Classes and experiences include Introduction to Stained Glass, Introduction to Fused Glass, Slump or Drape Fused Glass, Wine by the Glass introductory sessions, and several intermediate fused glass workshops such as Glass Powder & Stencils, Marine Reef Bowls, Part Sheet Fun, Stacking Glass Designs, Stringers and Confetti Plate, and Pendants and More. Many short-format options include 90-minute and two-hour workshops; the Introduction to Stained Glass runs approximately 3.5 hours.

Pieces are kiln-fired; finished work is either available for pickup, shipped to participants, or ready after standard kiln schedule timing—some pieces are ready in about one week. Several classes use pre-cut glass for convenience, while other workshops teach precise cutting techniques. Open Studio sessions allow independent project time with access to studio tools and materials.

The studio emphasizes safety and clear expectations: some classes note closed-toed shoes and age or experience recommendations. Glass Arts Collective operates with professional-grade kilns and trained instructors who provide step-by-step instruction. Located in Westlake Village, the studio serves hobbyists, experienced glass artists, and newcomers seeking hands-on guidance, reliable kiln firing, and a structured creative environment. Most classes include materials and studio tools; additional specialty glass options are available for customization and color selection during scheduled class times.
