Sharing a Love of Glass

My name is Gregory Tomb. I am a glass artist and educator looking to take the next step in following a dream I’ve had since I was 6 years old.

I have been invited to teach glass blowing and glass fusing classes & provide demonstrations in Arizona, from January-March 2018!

I need support in order to build the Glass Learning & Demonstration Studio!


At the show, I will share my passion for glass by offering glass making experiences to the general public.

Participants in the glassblowing classes will have an opportunity to make a glass pumpkin, flower, paperweight, bowl or snowman. Those not drawn to the heat may chose to make a fused glass plate, suncatcher or set of coasters. Pictured below is a heart shaped plate before a firing.

Working at BAGI (Bay Area Glass Institute) honed my skills as an educator. I’ve had the honor of guiding hundreds of students through the glass making process.

Have you seen how cool the glass making process is?

Here’s a video of me making a glass
