Make Fused Glass Medallions in Seattle: Cast or Press • 3 Pieces Workshop

Cast or Press • 3 Pieces is a compact fused-glass workshop in Seattle, Washington that turns a short chunk of travel time into a tangible souvenir. In a 45-minute session, participants shape colorful fused-glass medallions or small sculpted flowers using a selection of themed molds; each piece takes roughly 15 minutes from design to placement in the kiln. The format is intentional: this is a quick, hands-on intro to glass art designed for beginners, families, and small groups—your ticket covers up to three people, each making one piece, and the minimum age is five.

The studio experience centers on three elements: a curated palette of sheet glass, an array of small metal and ceramic molds, and a studio kiln that fuses colors into smooth, durable keepsakes. Instructors guide each step—cutting simple shapes, layering color, and placing pieces for the firing cycle—so no prior glass experience is required. The kiln gives the glass its final form, but it also requires time: finished pieces cool in the annealer and are available for pickup beginning two days after class; shipping is offered for an additional fee.

This quick-format workshop is uniquely useful for travelers who want to compress a creative activity into a tight schedule. It’s a rainy-day escape between hikes on nearby trails or a memorable stop after exploring Seattle’s waterfront and museums. The session’s small scale makes it an ideal gift-making option—holiday ornaments, pocket-sized medallions, or a floral token crafted on the spot.

Practical details: check in at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time and complete any required waivers ahead of arrival. The advertised price for the three-piece slot is $255; bring a mindset for experimentation rather than perfection. The studio enforces safety practices around hot equipment and cooling times—staff handle firings and final handling.

Why book this in Seattle? Beyond the object you take home, the class offers a tactile counterpoint to the city’s green spaces and Puget Sound vistas—a way to carry a piece of the trip in color and glass. Whether you’re traveling with kids, visiting friends, or seeking a creative complement to outdoor adventures, Cast or Press • 3 Pieces delivers a compact, satisfying craft experience in the heart of Seattle.

Plan to book in advance when your itinerary is tight, since the session batches through the kiln on a schedule and spots fill quickly on weekends. The format also works well as a short celebration after a day on nearby trails or as a morning activity before a ferry or sound excursion. Bring comfortable clothes you don’t mind a little glass dust on, and expect staff to manage all heated work. The finished pieces are durable mementos that fit easily in luggage abroad.
