Tips & Advice
- Arrive 10-15 minutes before your session starts to ensure you don't miss the crucial safety and process demonstration, as late arrivals may not be permitted to participate.
- Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes (like tennis shoes or walking shoes) and clothing made of natural fibers like cotton (t-shirts and jeans are ideal). Avoid synthetic materials, yoga pants, workout clothing, flip-flops, or high heels.
- Check your GPS route before the event day, as the Factory Arts District is an old factory with one-way streets. Entry can be confusing; follow interior signs to the GAI Studio.
- If you have prescription glasses or prefer your own, bring them for comfort and clarity during the glass-working process.
- Your glass creation will be ready for pickup the following business day, typically between 12 PM and closing time, Tuesday through Sunday.
