Sedona: Glassblowing Workshop & Make Your Own Flower

Summary

Hands-on glass art in Sedona’s creative studio with local artists

You’ll feel the heat of Sedona’s glassblowing studio as you shape molten glass into your own colorful flower with help from local artists. Choose your colors, try new techniques, and leave with a story (and a handmade piece) to pick up the next day—plus maybe a few laughs along the way.

What’s the experience like?

We walked into The Melting Point in Sedona and it was hotter than I expected — not just the Arizona air, but the blast from the furnaces. There’s this humming sound, like a low purr, and you can smell something sharp, almost metallic. Our guide, Jamie, handed me safety glasses and grinned, “You ready to make a mess?” I was honestly nervous (my hands shake when I’m excited), but everyone seemed so relaxed. There were families, an older couple who said they’d never tried anything “arty” before — it felt like nobody was judging if you messed up.

Jamie showed us how to gather molten glass on a rod — it looks like honey but way scarier. You pick your colors (I went for blue and green, which later looked more like swamp water than I planned) and then you have to roll it in these little bits called frit. The whole thing is weirdly calming once you get over the fear of dropping everything. At one point my flower started drooping and Jamie just nudged my elbow, “Give it a spin — slow.” I could hear someone laughing behind me (maybe at my concentration face). The main keyword here is glassblowing workshop Sedona but honestly, it felt more like play than work.

By the end, my flower was lopsided but kind of beautiful. They told us we couldn’t take our creations home yet because they need to cool overnight — something about annealing? So yeah, you either come back or pay for shipping. I liked that nobody rushed us out; people hung around chatting about color choices or asking the artists about their craziest projects. My hands smelled faintly of metal even after washing them twice. I still think about that moment when the glass caught the light just right — not perfect, but mine.
