A History of Glass School

Glass School, the education hub of Warm Glass, began in 2008 as a studio and resource center. In 2012, Megan (now Education Content Coordinator) started teaching alongside local artists Claire Hall and Becky Wills, which led to a program of Masterclasses with international artists like Amanda Simmons, Bob Leatherbarrow and Nathan Sandberg. Due to the pandemic, Warm Glass shifted to Live Online Masterclasses in 2020, expanding class sizes and reaching global students and teachers. Since then, Warm Glass Education has rebranded as Glass School, focusing on making online education affordable and accessible.
