It's our 11th anniversary Party!

CHG Anniv card for 2012 front jpgThat's right, it's that time of year again and we are celebrating 11 years of Art, Education and just plain fun.

If the doomsayers reading the Mayan calendar are to be believed this will be your last chance to come to a CHG anniversary party so don't miss this one, it will be the party of the baktun!

In Honor of the turn of the Mayan baktun, we will be celebrating with an assortment of Mayan inspired food and beverages.  Daniel is working on a chocolate and hot pepper beverage that will recreate the drink of the Mayan Kings.

We will have Glassblowing demonstrations, Live Music, Food, Drinks and a late night DJ. The party runs from 6:00pm to 3:00am. Suggested donation is $20 at the door and all proceeds go to supporting the studio.

The address is 1250 N Central Park Avenue Chicago Il 60651.
For more information you can call the studio at 773 3934 3252

Chicago Hot glass on TV!

Chicago Revealed / CHG 01

Local television personality and host of Chicago Revealed Katie Kijowski dropped by Chicago Hot Glass to give glassblowing a try. Katie approached CHG about doing a television piece focusing on "Hidden Chicago Neighborhood Gems". We thought it would be exciting to have her over and a great opportunity to get the word out about hot glass here in Chicago. Katie and the Chicago Revealed camera crews came into Chicago Hot Glass on three separate occasions to film the glassblowing experience that CHG has to offer...


Several staff members were interviewed about workChicago Revealed / CHG ing with glass and what it's like to be a glass artist. Katie even took her turn in the hot seat and hopped on a torch with instructor Ed Wang and made herself a glass pendant. We hope Katie had a good time and look forward to seeing her on television blowing glass. 

Chicago Revealed is a Chicago based TV show that airs locally on Channels 23 and 49. Produced by Katie Kijowski & Casey Clark, Hosted by Katie and Edited by Casey at Chicago Municipal Television.
