BGSU was one of the first glass programs in a University in the United States. The current Glass studio was constructed in 1991 in the Fine Arts Center and is centrally located on campus. The hot glass area was completely rebuilt in 2009 by Wet Dog Glass and has three complete work stations for blowing glass. The glass studio contains equipment for working with hot glass, kiln formed glass, lost wax glass casting, cutting and polishing glass and flameworking. The glass shop shares an outdoor working court yard with sculpture and ceramics.
