Do You Need a License for Glass Blowing?

No, you do not need a license to practice the art of glass blowing; however, you may need certain licenses to start a glass blowing business or become an event vendor.

If you’re selling glass art or considering building an at-home studio, please check your local state and city requirements first. You may need to:

  • Get a business license
  • Obtain a sales tax permit
  • Secure a special event permit
  • Get a liability insurance policy
  • Obtain fire safety permits
  • Secure zoning permits
  • Meet ventilation requirements

How Do You Protect Glass Art While Traveling to Events or Shows?

The best way to protect glass art while traveling to events or shows is to:

  • Pack your items with bubble wrap, dividers, and padding
  • Wrap each piece in honeycomb or packing paper to prevent scratches
  • Place items into a small box, then a larger box for shock absorption
  • Store items in plastic containers to keep moisture out
  • Use non-slip mats under boxes inside your vehicle to prevent shifting
  • Secure containers in place with straps, rope, or tie-downs


We also recommend adding Tools, Supplies, & Inventory Coverage to an ACT Pro policy for just $4.50 a month.
This helps cover third-party theft or damages that may occur while traveling to or from events or during a show.

Is Glassblowers Insurance Worth it for Hobbyists?

Yes, glassblowers insurance is worth it for hobbyists! Personal insurance, like a homeowner’s or renter’s policy, does not commonly cover business activities, even if they stem from a hobby.

  • If you sell your art online, you’re at risk for product liability claims like injuries or damages from sharp edges. ACT Pro is the best policy for online sellers like you!
  • If you occasionally sell your work at events, you’re at risk for common claims like slips, trips, and falls in your booth. ACT Go is a good policy option for vendors like you.


Labeling yourself as a professional or a hobbyist won’t keep claims from happening — disaster can strike anytime, and having the right coverage ensures your craft is already covered!
