Here is a collection of common questions relating to our learning activities. If you have a question and it's not here, please don't hesitate to contact us.
You can call us at 905.415.9777 or email.
Absolutely. If you register in person, you will get your proof of payment on the spot. Phone in registrants will get their hard copy proof of payment on the day of the course/workshop. We can email it to you upon request.
Non-members who are first-time registrants are required to complete and sign a waiver * prior to participating in the course or workshop they are paying for. The waiver is an acknowledgment of our cancellation policy (mandatory), waiver of liability (mandatory), and image use (optional). If you choose a remote method of payment, the waiver will be emailed to you. Registration will not be deemed complete until the signed waiver is emailed back.
* If the registrant is under 18 years of age, their guardian must sign on their behalf.
Children under the age of 14 years old cannot participate in our adult workshop and course programming. Youth 14+ can participate with a participating adult where indicated.
Absolutely. If you were gifted a Glasstronomy Studios gift voucher you can apply it to the purchase of a course/workshop.
Some gift vouchers have been issued for a specific course/workshop and no further payment is required, unless materials are not included.
Unfortunately, no. Your member discount only applies to learning events that you choose to participate in.
Absolutely not. We have a robust membership program, but it's not for everyone. The Studio level membership is a good option for individuals who participate in a lot of our learning activities and appreciate the savings the discount can provide.
No, you do not. During a course/workshop, you can use our hand tools. If you choose to bring your own tools, such as a glass cutter, we ask that they are clearly labeled so that they don’t inadvertently become mixed up with ours.
Yes, we do. We host private learning events for groups of adults, or youth (age 14+, where accompanied by supervising adults). We typically accept groups of eight people or more. Whether a corporate event, couples gathering, girls’ night out, baby/wedding shower or party, events are tailored to your needs with customized activities.
During courses/workshops and open Studio time, you are welcome to use and share our hand tools. We have everything you would typically need to complete stained and fused glass projects.
We do not rent out our tools for use outside of the Studio. If you find you need tools, we would be happy to sell you in stock items or order them for you to purchase.
Non-members who are first-time registrants are required to complete and sign a waiver prior to participating in the course or workshop they are paying for.
