After-School

The Hilltop Artists After School programs offer students a safe, creative place to be for out-of-school hours, where they can make friends and develop their skills in glass arts. After-School students work in glassblowing, fusion, and flameworking, connecting with trusted teaching artists and working with advanced glass art students as their mentors.

After School will admit students two times during the 2025-26 year at Hilltop Heritage, with sessions going from: September – January and February – June.

Our After-School programs are open to all students, regardless of school or district. These programs are tuition-free.
