DETAILS:

Ignite Glass Studios has transformed a spartan West Loop industrial building into a glass blowing studio, educational facility, and elegant event space. With its state-of-the-art glass-working environment and flexible spaces, Ignite fosters art-based learning for everyone from under-resourced youth to visiting glass artists. Gallery spaces show a rotating mix of work by those affiliated with the studio. Artisans on staff create a signature line of products-making it a true working studio. With its garden and rooftop deck, Ignite is a distinctive place to appreciate the art of blown glass.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

Event studio, garden, rooftop and gallery spaces will be open for guided or self-guided tours. Guests should enter through the garden gate. Our team of artists will be doing live glassblowing demonstrations during OHC hours. There will be bleachers set up for guests to watch, and a narrator who will be sharing information regarding the demonstration and answering questions.
