Community pricing model
At The Glass Elemental, we believe art education should be accessible to everyone. Our tiered pricing model is simple: those who are able to pay more make it possible for those who need to pay less to participate fully. Every seat is the same experience; same instruction, same materials, same community.
Access Rate
For those who face financial barriers to participation. This rate is set at or near the cost of materials with little to no margin for overhead or instructor time. If the standard rate would create a hardship, the Access Rate is here for you; no explanation required. Access pricing is typically 50% of the standard rate and is capped at 2 seats per month.
To request an Access Rate voucher, reach out through our contact page.
standard Rate
The Standard Rate is the true cost of the class—it covers materials, studio overhead, and a fair wage for instruction. This is the baseline that keeps The Glass Elemental running. If you are able to pay this rate comfortably, this is the right tier for you.
Specific pricing for each class is listed on the event's registration page.
