Aliento Glass School – EtchMaster – Professional Glass Consultants

Norm & Ruth Dobbins, owners of Professional Glass Consultants, have been teaching glass etching and other glass techniques for 30 years. These seminars have been held in their own studios and in numerous other locations around the U.S. and in several other countries.

Students from all 50 states and over 35 countries have learned glass etching techniques from the Dobbins, and many have gone on to start successful businesses and new careers in glass.

With the acquisition of a beautiful old adobe hacienda compound, the Dobbins’ have located their glass studio on the property and founded a glass school there, as well as bed & breakfast style accomodations for students. The glass studio is in operation and seminars are regularly being held in the facility. There are 7 rooms available for student accommodations during classes, ranging from a large apartment down to economy rooms in the studio building. These rooms are available to the general public when no classes are scheduled.

You can check the seminars being offered (in New Mexico and elsewhere) by clicking on the Schedules/Pricing button and check on the accommodations by clicking on the Accommodations button.

With the current interest in glass etching techniques, these classes have been filling fast and the rooms as well. If you see a seminar you like, don’t delay – contact us right away to reserve your space.

In the future, the school will start adding classes in other glass working techniques like fusing, slumping, wheel engraving, design, and more. Nationally and internationally recognized instructors will be invited to teach.
