The O-AT-KA School of Glass and Glass Studio is housed in an historic 19th Century Warehouse located in Batavia , New York (near Niagara Falls and the Corning Museum of Glass) in Western New York. O-AT-KA is a North American Indian word meaning "through the opening" . The O-AT-KA School of Glass is a place where we bring together talented and respected instructors from around the country and students interested in learning from the "Masters and Innovators" in the Glass Field." "We wanted to create a learning facility where both Instructor and Student have unlimited opportunities to explore, to develop, to create and to fulfill their dreams and visions without being hindered by lack of equipment or materials." The O-AT-KA School of Glass provides fully equipped studios and work stations for almost every kind of glass exploration: from Kiln Casting, Lamp Working, and Fusing to Glass Mosaics, Fritography, Large Vessel Forming (including Glass Vessel Sinks), and custom Architectural Projects. |
