Entry No. 19 — the Las Vegas file — filed under: glassblowing
Domsky Glass
A 9,800-square-foot working glass studio tucked in an industrial strip a few blocks off the Strip, where husband-and-wife artists Larry and Barbara Domsky (whose blown glass hangs in McCarran's Terminal 3 and at Wynn Las Vegas) fire up furnaces most weekends and teach the public to fuse and shape glass with their own hands rather than just watch through a rope line.
The story
If you have flown into Harry Reid International (or McCarran) Terminal 3 or walked through Wynn Las Vegas, you have already stared directly at Larry and Barbara Domsky's blown glass artwork. What most tourists do not realize is that the husband-and-wife duo do not create these massive installations—or their commercial pieces for brands like Nike, Neiman Marcus, and Lexus—in some sterile corporate design lab. They forge them in a 9,800-square-foot industrial unit tucked onto South Highland Drive, a block away from the Strip's neon shadow.
Instead of walling off their studio behind a velvet rope, the Domskys turn on the heat for the public. Inside this working warehouse, the furnaces burn hot most weekends, operating as both an active production floor and a teaching space where you can handle hot and fused glass directly under the guidance of master artists.
What it's like
Pulling up to 2758 S Highland Drive feels like arriving at an auto repair shop or light-industrial supply house—you will think you mapped the wrong location until you walk through Unit A's door. Inside, you are greeted by ambient furnace heat and the glow of molten silica. If you drop in during one of their open-house nights (typically running the first Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the month from 6:00 to 10:00 PM), you can watch live glassblowing demos as crew members maneuver glowing blowpipes. If you book a workshop—like the 90-minute morning fused-glass pendant class—dress in natural fibers and closed-toe shoes; you will be directly hand-shaping and fusing glass bits to craft three custom jewelry pendants.
The move: Sign up together for the fused-glass pendant workshop (10-11:30am, each person crafts three jewelry pendants from molten glass) or catch one of their first Thursday/Friday/Saturday open-house nights (6-10pm) for a live demo before booking a private team-building or couples glassblowing session.
