Private Parties

Thank you for your interest in hosting an event at SiNaCa Studios.  We offer both hands-on and demonstration style events that can be scheduled off site at your location or on site any time a studio is not reserved for curriculum or artist rentals. During a private event, we do try to eliminate all other foot traffic in the host studio. However, the gallery will remain open to the public, and curriculum that is scheduled in a non-related studio could be happening.  Event scheduling will be based on studio and instructor availability. We don’t have a required minimum head count however, there may be some restrictions based on the number of guests, time limits, event type or items. You can also invite non-participating guests for no additional fee. We do require a signed contract and a 50% deposit in order to officially schedule the event. If you have catering, there is no additional fee, but it is required to let us know so we can reserve the additional space. Items will be ready for pickup around 1-2 weeks after event. Check in with your instructor for a more accurate date. We can also ship out items for an additional fee. Once you’ve seen the events and items we have to offer below, please call us at 817-899-0024 or email Heidi@sinacastudios.org to plan your event.

Private Group Events at SiNaCa (On Site)

Two professional glass blowers will present a two hour formal glass blowing demonstration. During this time we will explain all of the steps taken to complete two items. We will provide bleacher seating and PA system so that all attendees will be able to see and hear the demonstration.  Your team members are encouraged to interact with our demonstrators with questions and personal stories. There are optional additional fees for up to 10 members to participate in the creation of the piece..Each member will work with our instructors to create a large glass item using molten glass (2100°F) from the furnace. Team members will gather glass on a pipe, shape it with tools, apply color, and reheat their creation. You can choose from the following item styles to create:

On Site | Group Kiln Forming Project (Group Item): Starts at $300

Our kiln forming instructors will help your team create a fused mosaic platter, bowl, or wall hanging featuring your logo or design. They will explain the glass working process as team members cut and layer glass with frit and stringers. After assembly, we’ll fire it in an electric kiln for 12 hours to fuse the layers together.

On Site | Build Your Own Private Event (Individual Items): Typically $55-$85 per participant

All build your own private events are priced per person, per item that is created from the options below.  You and your group must come to an agreement on what item you want to make if you are in a single studio. Generally with groups over twelve, we suggest choosing two studios and with groups of over twenty we suggest choosing three studios. SiNaCa Studios reserves the right to enforce a maximum number of total items per studio in order to stay within the quoted time frame and price for the event.
