Helios Fused Glass Studio was born out of a passion for glass as an artist's medium and kilnforming as their mode. We share glass enthusiasm, knowledge, materials, and equipment with anyone seeking to enliven their creative spirit - For those new to glass art, those who’ve caught the bug, or established fusing artists, we are here to support and inspire your next steps and further the knowledge of the Fused Glass art form.

Located in Austin, Texas, since 2007, Helios is a number of things. It is an education center, a source for materials and supplies, and an exceptionally well equipped working studio. It is also a social hub for glass artists. It is a place for both formal and informal information sharing. It is a gathering spot to come, share your latest creation, and see what others are up to.

We look forward to having you stop by, say “hello”, and maybe peek in our kilns.
