Glen Echo Glassworks

Glen Echo Glassworks is the Washington, DC area’s first glass school, and continues to provide one of the only area studios for blown glass instruction, exhibitions and special programs under the direction of artist Paul Swartwood. 

Classes are offered year round for beginner through advanced levels and open studio time is available for experienced artists. Located in the former Caretaker’s Cottage, the studio is open to the public Saturdays, 12pm to 4pm, and by appointment, to observe glassblowing demonstrations and see work by Glassworks artists.
