Always wanted to learn how to do this!
Founded just over a year ago by Alan Iwamura and David Ablon, Brooklyn Glass is an open-access studio that brings glassblowing, flame working, and neon bending under the same roof. It solved a big issue in the glassblowing world – previously, craftsmen had to travel out of state to find adequate workshop space. Now, problem solved. They even offer classes in the glass arts. Would you like to temporarily teleport to the Middle Ages and make a vase or two? Time is on your side.
