Where is pricing information?

Pricing for lessons is on the Lessons Page. Pricing is by the piece.

Pricing for art work is on the Online Gallery Page. Pieces with prices listed are for sale in the online gallery. Call for pricing of other items.

Where is pricing information?

All artwork is one of a kind, and while we usually have something available in every series, the availability of artwork varies. If it is for sale in the Online Gallery, we have it available for you. Please call if there are any questions about a specific piece.

What times & days are your classes?

Private glassblowing lessons are held on Tuesday – Saturday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

When can I pick up my piece?

Lesson pieces have to cool down slowly overnight. They are usually ready by 3 pm the following day. If we are closed the following day, then the piece will be ready the morning of the next day we open.

Are there advanced levels for glassblowing?

We are continually developing new lesson pieces, so you can come back again and again and still have fresh, fun pieces to make.

Are there advanced levels for glassblowing?

YES ! We have advanced pieces that anyone can make ! The most popular advanced piece is the honu (turtle). We also let you get creative with colors and form with the advanced vessels. They take longer than the standard lesson pieces, so must be booked over the phone. Please call or text 808.763.6338 to learn more or book an advanced Lesson . You can also email us at info@moanaGlass.com

Can I make a Wave, Whale Tail, Turtle, or Whale?

We do have a Honu (turtle) as an advanced lesson piece. Please call 808.763.6338 to book the Honu Lesson. Our lessons set you up for success, and as such, we do not offer these items as lesson pieces. Any of these, plus other items for sale in the gallery, require years of dedication and professional experience to be able to make. The pieces we offer are ones we know that we can pull off every time with first-time beginners. If you want a very island-themed sculpture, the Fish Sculpture is a great option.

How long do the lessons take?

Appx 30 min. for check-in plus. 30 min. per piece. The exact length of your lesson will be shown when booking your reservation. For example, the whole process takes 1 hour for 1 piece, 1.5 hrs for 2 pieces, 2 hours for 3 or 4 pieces, 2.5 hrs for 5 pieces, 3 hours for 6 or 7 pieces. Contact us for bookings of 8 or more pieces or if you would like to use two workstations and speed up the process.

How many people can work on one piece?

One piece per person is ideal because each person gets the most experience and individual attention from the instructor. You can, however, work on one piece as a team of two and still have fun. The exceptionto this is when two parents are working with a young child.

Can I make my own piece?

One piece per person bookings is also ideal because everyone gets their own piece to keep.

How old is the minimum age for glassblowing lessons?

We work with kids five years old and up. We tailor the experience to every person/group, however. For younger kids, we make it a little less hands-on to ensure their safety.

“That fish looks really hard; are you sure I can make that?”

Our lessons are one-on-one with you and a seasoned professional. Your success is guaranteed! We will help you every step of the way and make sure your piece comes out GREAT!

Do you make custom art pieces, lighting, or glass sinks to order?

Yes, we do! Ryan Staub has been making custom lighting, glass sinks, and artwork for his whole career. If you have an idea of something you’d like made in glass, please contact us, and we will be happy to help!

Are Glass Sinks really tough enough to use?

Ryan Staub has been making Glass Sinks for over 20 years. No one has ever broken one. Everyday use in a bathroom is fine for a glass sink. The sensitive parts, the bottom, and the lip, are usually the thickest part of the piece.

How long does it take to make a piece?

That varies a lot depending on the complexity of the piece and on who is making it. Glassblowing is extremely difficult to master, and even professionals with over 20 years of experience are continually learning new things about the material. The longer someone blows glass, the more efficiently they can make their designs, but that efficiency comes at the expense of years of dedication. Many of Ryan Staub’s pieces consist of pre-made parts that take weeks, or sometimes longer, to prepare.

Do you host events or demonstrations?

There’s something AMAZING to watch almost every day at Moana Glass. Come by and see what Ryan and his team are making, or watch the glassblowing lessons for FREE. please check our operating hours for any changes. We also host glass blowing parties and private group events by appointment.

When should I arrive for the lesson?

Please arrive promptly at your lesson time.
