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.
ENTRANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
Use the entrance located through the garden gate.
VISITOR EXPERIENCE:
Guests can roam the garden and event studios. Tours of the rooftop and gallery will also be provided. Ignite Glass Studios' annual Fall Festival of Glass event, glass blowing demonstrations, and glass pumpkins for sale will be ongoing throughout the weekend. The glass blowing demonstrations are supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
