Pick Up or Ship Your Glass
See what happens when an object is not properly annealed and learn why it breaks.Why does glass need to be annealed? Watch a short video about annealing glass to see what happens when glass is not properly annealed.
All objects made in the workshop (except for sandblasted objects) must go through an overnight annealing (slow cooling) process and will not be available for same-day pick-up. Most objects can be picked up the next day after 12:00 p.m. (please allow two days for beads/pendants made in the last two sessions of the day).
If this is not possible, domestic and Canadian shipping is available (international shipping is not available at this time). There is no charge for shipping flameworked beads and pendants.
