Third Degree Glass Factory was founded in 2002 by Jim McKelvey and
Douglas Auer. The not-for-profit studio serves the St. Louis community
as the only public access glassblowing facility in the area, and in its first
three years has ignited and inspired an emerging young community
of glass artists. Third Degree offers beginning and intermediate glassblowing

gallery featuring work by local glass artists.
Aunt Gladys–Southern Illinois University (SIU)
Mobile Glassblowing Studio
Student Demonstrations
SIU’s mobile glassblowing studio,
affectionately known as “Aunt Gladys,”
is a fully equipped facility specifically
designed to bring the art and craft of
working molten glass to audiences
interested in experiencing first-hand
the techniques and processes related
to contemporary glassmaking.
The mobile glass studio was designed
and created in 1969. Its first public
out-of-state demonstration was held at Spring Arbor College in Michigan
in 1972, and, after more than 30 years of demonstrations and workshops
throughout the United States, it is still “on the road.”
