About
Glassblowing and lampworking studio with exhibitions, classes and glass artworks for sale.
At Bumbil, glassmaking happens in the same bright studio as the exhibitions: visitors can watch artists blow glass and work at the lamp, with equipment and finished pieces all around. One anniversary event brought artists from Japan’s Nijima glass school to make kinetic, teapot-shaped works; one piece moved its ears when rolled. It’s a rare chance to see the process and the finished object in one room, rather than only viewing glass behind a case. The focus here is glass, not a café-style visit. Look through the exhibitions, see what works are for sale, and check whether an artist talk or open workshop is scheduled. Classes welcome general learners as well as glass-art majors, and Bumbil’s programs include a 10-session glass-art track through Busan Citizen University. The studio is run by glass artist Lee Jae-kyung, who also teaches. Plan around the program: open workshop days and special events are the occasions mentioned for watching demonstrations, so check what is happening before setting out rather than assuming a class or live process will be underway. The catalog lists opening hours Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 to 18:00, and parking is available. Families can visit, but children need close supervision near the hot furnace area. This suits anyone curious about how glass is made, or considering a class; if you want a guaranteed demonstration, confirm the schedule first.
