The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Fused Glass

I Made It! Glass Creations is celebrating 50 Years of the Summer of Love! So let your hair down and get creative with all the colors of the rainbow. We have activities for everyone from your wild child to your funky mama. Bring the whole gang of groupies for birthdays in our private party room or hang loose with the girls for a Gal's Night Out. But we're not just about that party life! If you're more laid back, walk-ins are always welcome, no reservations required.

Fused glass is a fun and easy way to explore the world of glass art without the heat or danger of other techniques. You do not need to be artistic to have your creation come out totally trippy! All levels and ages are welcome. Our experienced staff is always on hand help you learn to cut and create the artwork of your dreams. With over a hundred projects in the studio, the hardest part is choosing what to make! We give you the tools and you bring the talent.

Once you choose your project, that's when the fun begins! We provide you with the blank canvas piece of glass of your choice already cut to the size and shape of your project and you get to decide where it goes from there. Our colorful trays of glass are yours for the picking! Like searching for buried treasures, you get to hunt for the colors and shapes that will make your project perfect and adhere them to your glass canvas with just a dab of our safe, non-toxic glue. No two pieces will ever be the same so, you can create something as unique as you are that you can enjoy for a lifetime.

With our kilns on-site, you get to enjoy the experience of seeing exactly where the magic happens! Once you've finished designing, our staff will take you back to our kiln area and answer all of your questions regarding the heating process of your artwork. Say a quick good-bye to your piece because it is getting fired up to nearly 1500 degrees where all those beautiful colors you chose will melt and fuse into one solid, glossy piece of fused glass art. Your creation is now ready to go home with you after properly cooling and curing for about five days. Enjoy your groovy glass artwork and happily tell your friends, 'I Made It!'

We are open every day except Tuesdays, with extended hours on the weekends. There's always something far-out going on at the studio and special offers for our Frequent Fusers. Come on by and let your artistic spirit fly! Can you dig it?
