UrbanGlass

Nice classes.

Interesting gallery on the ground floor, classes in glass blowing upstairs in the huge newly-renovated space. Interesting tours and demonstrations available every few weeks.

NEWLY RENOVATED AND FABULOUS. Urbanglass started life as the New York Experimental Glass Workshop on Mott Street which was fabulous in a very funky way...the studio glass movement had just begun and the "experimental" was the East Coast outpost.

20 years ago, it moved to Brooklyn. Some say the plant had flaws. Some said it had lost its edge.

Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg cut the ribbon on a new facility in the space where the old Brooklyn facility had lived. It is SPECTACULAR. It might just be the best facility in the United States for glassblowers to rent space and work. Surely, under the management of Cybele Malone, it will be a place where artists wishing to add glass to their work will be able to find craftspeople to help them.

We have watched Urbanglass from afar and are "blown away" by what the Board has accomplished.

This is a very artist-friendly community so call Cybele and visit.......see for yourself

only place to blow glass. love it!
