Mobile Glass Studio Updates & New Workshop Listing

Hello all and happy Saturday! I have lots of new things happening here at Rachel Escoe Glass.

First, I have received my glass furnace that I ordered to be made about 3 months ago and it’s here!!!!!! I will be getting some of my last ducks in a row and making sure everything is dialed in here at Rachel Escoe Glass before being fully hot and running. I am hoping to have the NEW Glass Current Studio open and ready for business by August or September.

Once the shop is running I will be offering morning and afternoon workshop time slots on Saturdays every week. Evening workshops will continue to be held Saturdays THRU Wednesdays.

Follow me on Instagram @RachelEscoeGlass for more photos and videos of the unveiling of my mobile glass shop journey!


I have also added a fun NEW workshop listing that a lot of my students have been asking about. It is an advanced glassblowing workshop where my previous students and others that have dabbled in glassblowing can continue to learn more advanced techniques like making a sculptural bird out of glass or making a classic handblown vessel.

I am so excited for this new workshop to take off. So check out that listing in my online shop at RachelEscoeGlass.com


A fun video of my workshops is in the works right meow. Where you can watch me teaching glassblowing and talking about my new adventures with starting a mobile glass shop! This video and project will be unveiled in mid to late September via an online crowdfunding campaign where you can have the chance to help support my new adventure and make it fully come to light. There will be some really fun rewards if you help back my project, like getting a private party workshop for up to 10 people!

So please stay tuned in to RachelEscoeGlass. Sign up for my newsletter, follow me on Instagram and keep in touch.

Thanks for reading, much love and Happy Saturday folks.

Inside Tip for Holiday Shipping Times!!

I heard from a little birdie who works for a courier company that shipping times are already getting backed up for online shopping and they will continue to be backed up through the holidays. All the more reason to get your holiday shopping done early!!! The earlier the better!

Since Covid hit, online shopping has become even more and more popular, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still support your local small businesses. A lot of us small businesses have not had the chance to sell our work in markets this year due to Covid. So this year, the majority of us have adapted to online shopping websites!!!! If you are an advocate of supporting small, local, BIPOC-owned and/or female-owned businesses then take a look at these various sites I have listed below. As well as my website for handcrafted unique glassblown artwares made in Portland, Oregon!

Happy November!
