Safety Policy

Studio participants are held to the same safety and civility standards as members of the staff. Because the hot shops are contained in a building designed for the display of works of art, and because members of the public may be present, all rules for conduct and safety will be strictly enforced. Staff may bring specific issues to the attention of studio participants with full expectation that the issues will be respectfully addressed. 

Studio staff is here to help you and facilitate your experience. They are also here to enforce the studio participation guidelines in an effort to make everyone’s experience positive, productive and injury free. Studio participants must be respectful and compliant with staff directions regarding compliance with studio guidelines and rules.

The museum reserves the right to refuse glass studio privileges to anyone who does not comply with these regulations. No refunds of fees will be given.
