Studio 73

Studio 73 is a small, sunlit glass studio tucked into Newton that feels like a neighbourhood laboratory for making beautiful things. Workbenches are lined with jars of powdered frit and pre-cut sheets of colored glass; instructors walk you through fusing, design choices and safe kiln handling with the patience of teachers and the eye of makers. It runs like a community gallery and a hands-on workshop rolled together: a ten‑year anniversary show of jewelry, trays and ornaments one night, a corporate team-build or birthday party the next. Locals come for gifts — suncatchers, serving trays and ornaments made in-house — while creatives return for technique and company. The staff are inclusive and practiced at adapting projects for kids, seniors and mixed-ability groups. They also take the work on the road for mobile classes and corporate events, so the studio’s reach extends beyond its storefront. This is not a polished boutique; it’s a working studio where you leave with something you made and a little more confidence than you arrived with.
