Description

Espace VERRE is first and foremost a school-workshop offering college-level training in glass. For the general public and tourists alike, Espace VERRE offers a boutique, an exhibition gallery, weekend training courses, activities such as Soufflez votre boule de Noël, guided tours and group activities organized on request. What's more, during the Montreal All-Nighter, the studio opens its doors to the general public for a guided tour. The boutique and art gallery are located on the second floor, and can only be reached via the staircase. A secondary door can be used to visit the glass-blowing workshops. For this purpose, during workshops or major events such as Soufflez votre boule de Noël, you must call ahead so that they can ensure your safety and access to the premises.
