Welcome to Revere Glass School:
Revere Glass is a fully equipped classroom and studio
designed for people to use glass at any level. We work hard
to get the best equipment and the most skilled instructors
at Revere and have created a noncompetitive and positive
environment where the emphasis is placed on the
individualized journey that one has with their art. Through
encouragement and not competition we are able to strive
for excellence.
Workshops:
Revere Glass offers intensive workshops with other
prominent artists from around the country. These workshops
offer students a chance to learn specific techniques from
the pioneers of our industry. We also offer two observer
spots per workshop. This is for an intermediate or advanced
student who do not need to blow glass and can learn just by
watching, asking questions and taking notes.
