Fale Conosco

If the student wants to set up their own studio, we help them think about the best layout and necessary materials.

If it is in the city of São Paulo, we will go to the location to check if everything is working correctly. If the studio is not in São Paulo, we will make a video call.

We created a group to share everyone's progress, ask questions, and share experiences.

We are providing 3 coupons for 10% off to buy glass and tools from our partner brand.

Throughout our career, we have acquired various forms of written teachings, and we are building a small library that continues to grow. Our students will have full access to this material during the course.

Hippie Bong's glassblowing course is simply extraordinary. It was something that surprised me from the very beginning. I already knew it would be a different experience for my life, but I couldn't imagine how much it would exceed my expectations, and believe me, they were already quite high. The learning dynamic is incredible, as are those responsible for teaching the course. Everyone is extremely attentive, careful, and dedicated to explaining each step of the process with great clarity. For someone like me, who was completely new to it, this care and affection in the teaching method, both in theory and practice, were essential. The practical part is amazing. In addition to all the care with the equipment and the constant guidance, glass art is fascinating. It goes far beyond what we imagine when we think about the production of pieces. It's an intense, delicate, beautiful, and profoundly transformative process. I highly recommend that anyone looking for new possibilities, whether to grow in the market or simply to learn something new and passionate, take the Hippie Bong course. It's a truly enjoyable experience from beginning to end. I was deeply impacted and am completely in love with this art.

I've been a jeweler for 10 years, and I started studying flameworking for jewelry in 2022 and haven't stopped since. In 2025, I felt the need to deepen and expand my techniques with Hippie Bong, and the experience was incredible. Jow and Nick have a clear and generous teaching style; they deeply master the techniques and explain each step with great patience. They were incredibly helpful with my questions and very available to develop pieces I already had in mind with me. Thanks to this exchange, I also connected with other artists and started working with imported and more complex glass, which further broadened my creative process and design vocabulary.

The course at HippieBong was a real milestone in my career. It gave me a solid foundation in working with borosilicate, always with the full attention of the instructors, who made sure to clarify every doubt during my transition from soft glass. This support was essential for me to gain more confidence in the process and to be able to venture into creating more complex and challenging pieces. This technical evolution directly reflected in my work and made a real difference in my sales.

I was already in the glassblowing field, working for a company for a few years, when I was laid off and decided to open my own business, SatoGlass. My customers started asking for new things, as I only worked with translucent glass and simple blowing techniques. That's when I found HB on Instagram and saw that they offered glassblowing courses. I got in touch and started the course in 2019. At the time, there weren't many course options and they were the only ones selling North American material here in Brazil. The course added a lot to my way of working with glass, expanding my knowledge of techniques, importing, and other important aspects. They were part of the beginning of my journey as a glassblower... I recommend them to everyone!

I took the Hippie Bong course at a very decisive moment in my life. I had just left a formal job where, frankly, I didn't like the life I was leading. I felt like I was living on autopilot, without purpose, without identity, and without pleasure in what I was doing. It was through this course that I didn't just learn a technique. I found a path. What started as learning turned into work. What turned into work, turned into income. And what turned into income, transformed into a lifestyle that I am proud to live today. In less than two years, beyond the course, it was my dedication and an insatiable desire to learn that made me seek another level. Today I no longer see myself as just someone who makes glass pieces... Today I am building my empire!! Today I work with something that makes sense to me, that aligns with who I am, with the culture I believe in, and with the freedom I've always sought. Hippie Bong didn't just teach me how to make glass tips. It showed me that it was possible to live the life I truly wanted to live. And that, for me, is priceless.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the course. For the complete course (either clear tips or colored tips), no prior experience is required – this is ideal for learning from scratch and honing your skills with us. These courses are also excellent for those who already have some experience but wish to expand their knowledge, as in glassblowing, perfection lies in the details!

However, for the vacstack course, experience is necessary, as it requires a certain agility and care with intense fire and crucial timing for creating the piece! Students who complete the full course are already qualified to practice this module.
