The Hot Shop @ The Coastal Arts Center of Orange Beach was established in 2009 and as the only public access glass studio in the state of Alabama. The Studio is dedicated to educating the community about glassblowing, sculpture, and art. We provide many educational opportunities to the Gulf Coast area including glassblowing lessons, group demonstrations, field trips for local schools and organizations, and public art exhibitions.

The Hot Shop was made possible by the generous donation of Joe Thompson of Bear Creek Glass.

Feel free to drop by and watch this mystical process of glassblowing.  To make your own glass, please call 
for an appointment.  Appointment times go fast--call as soon as you know when you'll be in town.
