Who Needs Glassblowers Insurance?

Any glassworker who creates and sells their art needs insurance! From small-batch flameworkers to large-scale hot shop artists, your craftsmanship deserves to be covered.

No matter how you heat it, shape it, or mold it, ACT Insurance covers a variety of glass blowing businesses, including:

What Types of Insurance Do Glassblowers Need?

General liability insurance offers a standard layer of protection while selling your glass art at events — but it doesn’t fully shield your business from every risk. Just like annealing strengthens glass, additional coverage can protect your business against unexpected claims.

How Much Does Glassblowers Insurance Cost?

ACT Pro starts at $24.25 per month, giving your business durable protection for events, products, online sales, and more. Need short-term coverage? ACT Go starts at $49 per event, offering valuable coverage when you sell at art shows and festivals.

Looking for extra coverage? Polish your perfect policy with ACT Pro and add optional coverages to fit your craft!*

*Additional monthly coverages available only with ACT Pro. Theft & Damage Coverage is available on both plans.

FAQs About Glass Art Insurance

What Types of Glasswork Are Covered?

ACT Pro glassblowers insurance covers 200+ product types from various art forms, including most glasswork items.

Heads up: we can’t insure tobacco or CBD-related products, installed pieces, or anything considered structural. Check out our full list of policy exclusions to learn more.

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

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 typically 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, and having the right coverage ensures your craft is already covered!

Does Glassblower Insurance Cover Me at Craft Fairs and Art Markets?

Yes, ACT glassblower liability insurance is designed to help cover artists and artisans while selling their pieces at craft fairs, makers markets, gallery exhibits, and other events.

Most event organizers require their vendors to show proof of general liability insurance before participating — ACT helps provide insurance for artists and crafters to help meet these requirements in minutes at an affordable rate.

What’s the Difference Between Glassblower Insurance and Glazier Insurance?

Glass blowing business insurance protects artisan glass craft makers, while glazier insurance protects contractors and professionals who install, repair, or replace glass such as window installers. Both are types of insurance that cover third-party, general liability claims, but ACT does not cover glaziers.

Does My Homeowner’s or Renter’s Insurance Cover My Glassblowing Equipment?

No, homeowner’s insurance typically does not cover business-related tools or equipment like glassblowing supplies. The best way to protect your glass blowing business equipment, even if you work out of your home, is with general liability insurance and theft and damage coverage.

A general liability policy helps protect your business from third-party liability claims of injury or property damage, and the theft and damage coverage can cover the cost of repairing or replacing your movable tools and equipment.

Does Glassblower Insurance Cover Glass Art Sold on Etsy or at Galleries?

Yes, with an annual glassblower insurance policy (ACT Pro) your business can be covered year-round for online sales on platforms like Etsy, as well as for in-person events.

If you only need coverage for a single in-person event and not for online sales, an ACT Go policy may be a better fit.
