The Hot Sand Glass Studio, the Jersey Shore's first public-access hot glass studio, is dedicated to promoting art glass through education, demonstration, and fun activities for all ages!

The Hot Sand Glass Studio, a fully-functioning hot glass studio, is suitable for several glass-making techniques:

1. Blowing creates pieces that are, at some stage, hollow. (Takes a lot of practice.)
2. Casting is pouring molten glass into a mold. (Takes a lot of planning.)
3. Fusing is layering pieces of flat glass then melting them together. (Takes a lot of patience.)
4. Slumping is heating glass just enough that it bends over a mold to make a shape. (Think specialty sinks.)
