The Boro School is a flameworking school and studio. They teach all kinds of glassblowing classes, but specifically they teach pipemaking. If you are into functional glass, definitely stop by and ask for a tour of the facility. Their gallery of functional art is outstanding. They also teach an intro course almost every Friday night.

7 Point Studios houses The Boro School, Seattle's premier flameworking school & studio I also mention here. It also houses a Screen Printing studio where you can take classes or experienced screen printers can rent equipment. Tons of murals painted inside and outside. And a lovely cannabis friendly location filled with all types of creative people.
