Glen Williams Glass
We are now open 7 days a week 12 -5 pm.
Glen Williams Glass is a collective studio made up of seven independent glass artists and is part of The Williams Mill. The diversity of experiences and interests of its individual members fosters a creative and experimental environment. Glen Williams Glass is open daily, and welcomes visitors to observe the glassblowing process and enquire about the various techniques and styles of its seven members.
The studio was founded in 1995 by Andrew Kuntz, Glass faculty member at Sheridan College, and Carol Nesbitt, Camilla Willings, Michelle Miller, Megan Kenny and Jennifer Tarrant; graduates of the program. The studio continues to maintain strong ties to the college. Many of the current members are graduates of Sheridan’s Craft and Design program, and have also sought additional education through courses and workshops at the Studio at Corning Museum of Glass, Pilchuck Glass School, and at Fleming College’s Haliburton School of the Arts. Works made by the artists are exhibited and collected both locally and internationally in public venues and private collections.
In addition to its function as a co-operative, Glen Williams Glass regularly welcomes non-members to the studio. Qualified glassblowers are able to rent the facilities, and each year the studio members award a Summer Scholarship Program to a Sheridan College student.
The studio is open daily from 12:00-5:00 p.m. and by Chance or Appointment. We are closed Mondays for the months of January and February 2019.

What Else Is New?
MAKE A GLASS FLOWER
To Celebrate our 25th Anniversary
This workshop will run Saturday September 21
and Sunday September 22 only.
Cost is $ 25.00 plus HST
Ages 16 and up have the opportunity to shape and manipulate hot furnace glass in this Flower making experience. If you are under 18, a parent's signature will be required.
Our glassblowers will guide you through this multi-step process. Choose from the colours provided, put on the safety gear provided, then have a seat in the glassblower’s bench. You’ll be using traditional glass forming tools to stretch and shape molten glass just like us.
After the flower is created, it is placed in an annealer (oven) to begin an overnight slow cooling process.
Flowers will be ready for pick up the day after they are made.
Join us to celebrate our 25th year Anniversary Celebration. We are open 7 days a week from 12-5 for your gift giving needs.
