Moana Glass by Ryan Staub is a Lahaina, Hawaii glassblowing studio offering private, hands-on lessons for visitors and locals. The studio specializes in guided glassblowing instruction led by artisan Ryan Staub, with private lesson options that let participants make between one and seven individual pieces per session. Classes are organized by session length — from one-hour one-piece lessons to three-hour lessons that accommodate up to seven pieces — and include design choice, color selection, and step-by-step shaping under professional supervision. Lessons at Moana Glass focus on safety, technique, and creative expression. Participants learn fundamental glassblowing skills such as gathering, shaping, and annealing while being guided through the creation of items like starfish, turtles, bowls, vases, and small sculptures. Each lesson concludes with pieces that are prepared for proper cooling and finishing; completed works may require kiln annealing offsite before final pickup or shipping, arranged according to studio policies. The studio operates from Lahaina, offering daily classes with flexible booking for private groups and individuals. Moana Glass accommodates all ages with age-appropriate instruction and emphasizes a personalized experience — students choose colors and designs during the session. The business provides materials, tools, and expert guidance; pricing and availability vary by lesson length and piece count. For travelers seeking an authentic Hawaiian creative activity, Moana Glass by Ryan Staub presents a memorable, hands-on art experience in Maui’s historic Lahaina district. Participants are provided with post-class care instructions for finished pieces and information on pickup or shipping options. Pickup and shipping options available.
