Mobile Glass Painting Parties in Phoenix, Arizona
Want to experience our unique textured glass for yourself while having a great time with friends and loved ones? Book a glass painting party!
Our glass painting parties are different from other paint-your-own experiences because we offer a truly unique product to create, and we come to you! Whether it’s a birthday party, company event, or a get together “just because”, a glass painting party is a great way to make your event memorable.
However, because our product is so unique, our parties differ greatly from other types of events.
Please read everything before booking your party.
The paints we use for our parties sometimes require some time to dry in between layers and paint techniques. Because of this, we book our parties in 3 hour blocks to make sure everyone has enough time to finish their pieces. However, this is not a set length of time for each party, as some projects don’t take as much time to create, and everyone works at different speeds. It is very possible for the party to end earlier than the 3 hour block. The cost will still be the same, whether the party is 1 ½ hours long or 3 hours long.
You will not be able to take your glass art home with you immediately. There is a lot of aftercare that needs to be done once the paint has dried, including kiln curing, attachments for hanging (when applicable), and final product assembling. When your glass piece is ready, we are more than happy to offer shipping (for an extra fee) or pickup from the host or event location. We understand how disappointing it may be to not take your artwork home right away! But we promise the wait will absolutely be worth it.
Things to keep in mind
While our parties are a lot of fun, the painting experience can be a bit challenging and has a learning curve that requires a lot of patience. The medium is very fragile as well, which is not suitable for young children. We do not recommend glass painting parties for children under the age of 8.

From Our Hands to Yours
This isn’t a prepackaged paint-and-craft experience. Every textured glass canvas used at Akari Glass Studio is thoughtfully designed and handmade by us in our Glendale, Arizona studio.
We create the artwork
Each project begins as an original illustration, created by us and carefully developed into a textured glass design. Because our designs are illustrated by us, we are also able to bring any vision or idea to life, creating something completely unique for your event.We handcraft every glass canvas
Each piece of glass is cut by hand and kiln-formed using our own custom mold process, creating the raised textures that make painting our unique glass both fun and approachable.You make it yours
We bring the custom-made textured glass, specialty glass paints, supplies, creative guidance, and everything you need to transform your chosen design into something completely personal.We finish it for you
After the party, we carefully transport your artwork back to our studio, cure the paint, assemble each project, and return it ready to display and enjoy.
The result is more than a party craft — it’s a one-of-a-kind piece of glass art, handmade from the first design to the finishing touches.
Pricing
The booking process is very simple! Contact us with your requested party date and number of guests and we will book you if we have availability. After booking your party and making your deposit, you will receive a catalog with the glass options available for your party, such as trinket trays, window hangs, standees, and more. For an extra fee, we will also be able to offer custom designs curated to your party or theme specifically (let us know prior to booking).
Each party has one piece of glass included, but more can be added for an additional fee. Our parties also come with a scrap piece of glass with a random design to practice with, which your guests are more then welcome to keep as well!
Because our glass is specially textured with a design or image, it can make it a bit tricky to follow the design from the back side where the paint is applied. To make things easier, we are able to offer a tracing guide specific to whatever design you have chosen. In addition, we also offer un-textured glass, blank pieces of textured glass, and pre-outlined designs, which are great for children or adults who prefer an easy-going relaxing coloring experience.
After your party, we will organize and take your guests glass pieces with us to our studio, where they will be heat cured and finished with attachments or accessories (such as hangers for suncatchers, stands for standees, etc.). This process can take up to a week. Once the projects are ready, they will be returned to the host or event location, or we offer the option to have them shipped to you at an additional fee.
