Good morning Saturday buddies!
I have been receiving a ton of amazing interest on private party glassblowing events! So here is some info on what I will be offering at this moment in time and what future offers will be available once I can raise enough money to purchase a trailer and a truck for mobility purposes!
Private Party Workshop Inquiries : Great for wedding parties, team building work events, birthdays, bat/bar mitzvahs. You name it!
Group Sizes - RachelEscoeGlass is able to take group sizes of up to 10 - 15 people max at this time.
What You Make - Groups get the options to make an ornament or a paperweight. You pick your own colors and I help make it! (Wedding party options are different. Please feel free to contact Rachel if you are looking for specifically wedding party info.)
Duration - Workshops range from 3 hours to 4 hours depending on the size of the group. Roughly 10 minutes for each person to make their work with me! (We can set-up a snack/hang out table while everyone is waiting to make their work and watching hot glass!)
Where -
- Evening workshops are held in Vancouver, WA at a community glass studio.
- Morning workshops are held in Portland, OR at my home studio.
When -
- Evening workshops are SATURDAYS - WEDNESDAYS starting at 6pm.
- Morning workshops are SATURDAYS starting at 10am.
For more information on my hands-on workshops for smaller groups please take a look at my workshops page. Link below!
So, in the meantime, I am able to host 10-15 people group events at my home studio and small workshops are held Saturday mornings. Weather permitting of course because they are held outside. We will be under a canopy. This will provide shade from sunlight and shelter from the rain/wind. Schedule changes will apply according to weather. If you are a night owl. I will be holding my workshops in the evenings at a community glassblowing studio in Vancouver, WA.
In the future, once I am completely mobile; meaning once I have a truck and trailer, I will be able to the take the glass workshops and private events to your space of choosing. I will be able to host large events and small workshops in peoples driveways, at public school events, courtyards, festivals, outside markets, breweries, wineries, wedding event spaces. You name it!
Please stay tuned in. I will be starting a crowd funding campaign in September where you will have a chance to help me become a fully mobile glassblowing studio!! There will rewards and fun things honored in your name if you help back my endeavor to become a mobile glass shop!
Thanks so much for reading and have a relaxing Saturday folks! Much love.
The Glass Current : A Mobile Glassblowing Studio
Hi Everyone! The Glass Current, a mobile glassblowing studio is up and running. I am currently taking NEW bookings for Saturday mornings. Wahoooo! They will be 3-hour workshops from 10am to 1pm. For more info on dates and workshop details, please click the link below!
I am so excited to show you all my new studio. It is currently not quite mobile yet, but it is running! I will be holding my workshops in the meantime outside in my home studio backyard. Until I can raise enough money to buy a truck and trailer. Once I have those ducks in a row, then The Glass Current can go to all sorts of different locations. I will essentially be able to bring the shop to you! Private party events, festivals, markets, public school happenings, you name it!
To help me get to my goal of being mobile, I am looking for some help from my community.
I will be previewing, announcing and unveiling a crowd funding platform where you can hear my story, watch a fun video on how my glass studio will work and see me teaching glassblowing. Then you will have an option of helping to back my project with funds that will go towards a trailer and a truck. So the glass studio can travel to different locations.
I will be releasing more info within the next couple of months and have the crowd funding site up and running by the end of September! Keep an eye out for that and thank you again for following me on my glassy journey!
Much Love
Rachel Escoe Glass
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.
