About Us
The Glass Center serves UC San Diego students, alumni, staff and faculty, as well as the local and international creative community through courses, workshops, public programs, equipment rental, repairs, fabrication and professional services for many glass-related.
Our facilities include a state-of-the-art hotshop with four benches and two 400lb electric furnaces, a spacious cold shop with an extensive array of modern cold-working equipment, a flame-working studio with 13 benches and lathe, a fabrication studio outfitted to support several welding and metal finishing processes, and (eventually) a selection of equipment for kiln casting, fusing, and slumping. The UC San Diego Glass Center is open to everyone, prioritizing accessibility and cultivating a relaxed, welcoming environment for all.
