Teachers! We have CE credits available for middle and high school Art Teachers through Region 9 ESC.

Register at: bit.ly/HotShopCE2026

What's Hop Shop?
Our Hot Shop STEAM workshop in Dallas gives high school students access to a premier glass studio and nationally recognized artists. Students spend approximately 3 hours working in the studio with experts, learning about the science and the art of glass blowing and glass fusing. They also visit a commercial gallery for a behind-the-scenes look at art as a business and create components for a permanent public glass installation.

Your CE Credits
We have 30 CE spaces for teachers and administrators who are interested in the Hot Shop program for their students. You’ll experience the same workshop as the kids, learning about the science and artistry of glass and creating a blown glass keepsake for yourself.

Brought to you in partnership with Dallas Glass Art, Art Reaching Out, Region 9 ESC and Arts Council WF
