Previously offered through VRBO and Airbnb (with nothing but 5 star reviews) , we now reserve this private guest suite exclusively for glass fusion and vitrigraph guests from around the world.
Nestled in the heart of Santa Barbara, you’ll be perfectly located to enjoy hiking trails, beautiful beaches, the historic Mission and lots of fine dining options close by.
The suite itself is a spacious 750 sq. ft. studio apartment with 13 ft. high cathedral ceilings, expansive mountain view windows and a large outdoor covered balcony overlooking the koi pond, waterfall and incredible hydroponic gardens. Located next to the main house where the owners live, you'll have your own private entrance and experience complete privacy. It's appointed with truly luxurious furnishings and amenities which you'll love. All of this combines to make your stay in Santa Barbara unforgettable.

No problem at all—the vitrigraph is completely optional! You can set your vitrigraph pulls to zero in the calculator and dedicate all your time to studio fused glass work. Come enjoy hands-on studio time with Evelyn, an accomplished fused glass artist, and leave filled with new inspiration, techniques, and creative ideas.
1. Mail Your Own Glass: Since vitrigraph uses smaller pieces, mailing glass in advance is simple and worry-free. Upon registration, you'll get access to a private membership site with videos on choosing color combinations. Just bag your selections in ziplocks and ship them ahead!
2. Pick Up Glass en Route (Pasadena): Driving up from LAX or Burbank? The Bullseye Glass Store in Pasadena—one of only five in the entire country—is right off the route to Santa Barbara, adding only about 30 minutes to your drive.
3. Use Studio Glass: Want to travel light? We’re happy to supply whatever glass you need ($50/pull). When you arrive, we’ll go through color selection, preparation, and pot loading together.
Worried about fragile vitrigraph pieces traveling home? We’ve got you covered with options tailored to your travel plans (available on site for an additional charge):
- Custom Rigid Carry-On Tubes: Reinforced, custom containers safe for car or plane travel.
- Flat-Rate Packing & Shipping: Prefer to travel light? We offer complete post-workshop packing and flat-rate shipping directly to your doorstep.
Absolutely! Santa Barbara is a world-class getaway destination. While you're happily in the studio, they’ll have an amazing time exploring—from golf, hiking, and tennis or pickleball to beach days, wine tasting, boutique shopping, yoga, or just plain old relaxing.
None at all! Our sessions are tailored to all skill levels—from complete glass beginners making their very first pieces to experienced glass artists wanting dedicated kiln time and advanced technical guidance.
Safety and comfort first! Please wear closed-toe shoes (sneakers or boots) and natural fiber clothing (cotton t-shirts, jeans, etc.). No synthetic clothing! We provide all required safety gear, including heat-resistant gloves, leather apron and protective eye wear.
Of course! If you get here and decide you'd like more or less time in the glass studio or extra pulling sessions, we can adjust your itinerary fluidly. We easily refund or charge for services added or subtracted on site. No stress!
