Booking

Studio Rentals

The primary renter who will be using the studio must be the name used to secure the spot on the schedule. If you are purchasing time for someone else, this intention must be made clear at the time of scheduling. The primary renter scheduled to use the facility must fulfill eligibility requirements to use the studio (see below).
During rental time, the primary renter may bring in additional people—to assist or observe only—as follows:
Hot shop: 2 additional
Cold shop: 1 additional
Flameworking: 1 additional
Casting area: 1 additional


If you are new to renting a glass studio, you must first receive permission to work independently. Permission can be obtained either with reference from a TMA glass instructor, or by arranging a brief interview with the studio manager. This interview process and a brief studio orientation are required in order to familiarize new renters with studio facilities, safety practices, and guidelines. This also establishes participation as a responsible member of the studio rental community.
