The Crefeld Glassworks
The Crefeld School is unique in that it is one of just a half dozen high schools in the country which has a glass program. The Glassworks itself – built in the late 1990s – is a fully functioning glass studio with a furnace operating at 2050 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the studio provides a bead making set-up using blow torches.
The Glassworks and Crefeld’s glass classes not only provide students with an appreciation of glassblowing as a medium and as a creative process, but also teach the lessons of teamwork and trust.
The Glassworks also offers community programs in the form of both after-school classes for students and evening and weekend classes for adult members of the general community. Both glassblowing and bead making classes are taught by Crefeld faculty members, glass artists in their own right, Scott Wolfson and Doug Ostroff.
