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.
Our retail space still includes the entire Bullseye glass catalog, along with a wide array of kiln furniture & supplies and tools, and accessories.
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.
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!
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
Helios Art Shop
New to the studio is our Helios Art Shop where we feature works for sale made by local fused glass artists.

Be a part of the Helios Mosaic Column. Before we start gluing and grouting, we want to lay the best foundation we can, and that starts with YOU. 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.
Skyline Gallery & Artist Studios

Skyline Gallery
In the main Skyline Gallery, we’ll be featuring “Democracy In Focus” Resistance Art Show
A show by the non-partisan Hands Off Central Texas that features the photographers and videographers who have been capturing the energy and humanity of the protests happening in the beating heart of Texas since the inauguration. Experience resistance through the lens of the visual artists of HOCTX, and take home a piece of the fight. You’ll be able to meet the artists:

Art sales benefit HOCTX’s resistance work and the artists themselves through profit-sharing.
