<p>Hi guys, weird question... but a very relevant one: does anyone know of any schools in the top 200 universities by US News that has a glass blowing shop, glass blowing classes, or a glass blowing major?</p>
<p>sorry for the randomness,</p>
<p>thanks. (by the way, I know MIT does)</p>
<p>I’d google some glassblowers and call them ask. They will know. Heck you might even learn something about internships that way.</p>
<p>I have asked glass blowing people, but no one has any information</p>
<p>University of Wisconsin. Dale Chihuly went there.</p>

<p>Centre College, Danville KY</p>
<p>I remember University of Miami had a glass blowing class offered.</p>
<p>qizix, can you please tell us a little more about your interest in glass blowing and how you see it fitting into your education?</p>
<p>Wow, what an awesome question on what seems to be a lost art in this country…
I live in an area where glass blowing still occurs and people buy the work of local craftsman,
And also, when I visit my husband’s home country we love to visit the factories
( Sweden )
I never thought of it as something one learns in a college setting, so it will be interesting to see what you find out here</p>
<p>Don’t know if it’s a top 200 school, but Alfred University in upstate NY has a glassblowing program. My brother’s daughter got her degree in glassblowing there.</p>
<p>Check out Alfred University (NY)</p>
<p>Back in the olden days, most major university chemistry departments had a glass blowing shop. Non-credit artisan type courses were plentiful and a good alternative to blowing your research budget on new glassware. (pun intended lol)</p>
<p>There are glassblowers in Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown, near the College of William and Mary.</p>
<p>Rochester Institute of Technology has it, but I don’t know if it is a “top 200” school.</p>
<p>Hi guys, so my interest in glass blowing is probably not as a major, but as a serious hobby during college. I am a pretty good glassblower… probably advanced, but I also am interested in competitive universities like cornell, U. Rochester, and tufts. so i wa swondering if their were any academically challenging colleges with glass studios. U. wisconsin madison sounds cool. any other ideas?</p>
<p>lakeeffect already mentioned it, but Centre is great for glass.

<p>Brown students have access to the facilities at RISD.

<p>Notre Dame has a glass club.

<p>I’m pretty sure that Tulane does!</p>
<p>Dang… IB beat me to what I was going to post…</p>
<p>Tulane has a PHENOMENAL glass blowing studio. I’m a Freshman there majoring in Studio Art (concentration in Digital Media), but Glass classes are VERY popular among both majors and non-majors. I’m actually taking Foundations in Art: Glass (AKA introduction to glass) next semester to do my 3D art requirement.</p>
<p>The University of Texas at Arlington has an outstanding glass program led by an artist named David Keens. It is probably the premier program at UTA and just got accredited as a Masters Degree program. It clearly would not qualify as a top 20 school, but they produce spectacular work.</p>
