We’re thrilled to announce that both Helios and Skyline Gallery
Will be participating in

Austin Studio Tour 2025

Helios Fused Glass Studio

Austin Art Tour 2025

At Helios our retail, studio & coldworking, and Art Shop will be on full display. If you haven’t had an opportunity to check out our new studio, the Austin Studio Tour is an excellent time to stop by and see all the new and exciting things we have to offer. 

  • Retail Space

    Our Retail space still includes the entire Bullseye glass catalog, along with a wide array of kiln furniture & supplies and tools, and accessories. 

  • Kilns

    The heart of our studio is our 11 kilns, ranging from small to extra large and various depths, ready to bring glass creations to life 

  • Open Studio

    Our fully stocked open studio has expanded the number of free seats in our classroom studio, and we’ve also added additional bonus seats that are always available, even during classes. 

  • Coldworking Studio

    Right next to our open studio is our extensive coldworking studio with a range of specialty machines like stand blasting, loose grit grinder, wet saws, and more! 

New Feature! Helios Art Shop

Because we see immense talent and creativity coming out of our kilns every day, we decided to create the Helios Art Shop, where our local fused glass artists can showcase their works and provide an easy way to offer their art for sale.

Whether you’ve been with Helios since the beginning or new to the studio, we want you to be part of this project by adding your name, well wishes, and/or vision for what you want this new space to be. All of your messages will then be encased in the mosaic and forever part of the art.
