I drive down to take the make-a-snowman glass class, which they only offer a few times a year so get on their email list and then jump on it! Truly everyone who works here is so cool- very patient and friendly with the non-artistic amongst us. I'm just fascinated by the process and I'm grateful to be included in such a class- Anyone can do it- they get you involved in a way that opens it up to a beginner. And if you can't take a class, just go shopping! I bought my self the coolest ring ($15) and they have beautiful things at every price point for that unique gift Tips: Masks required right now Store has plenty of space Some class projects you will need to pick up later but you can pay extra for shipping

The class itself was really fun, and was a great balance between being very hands on in crafting your own art piece while also being comfortably guided for safety and to make sure you make something that actually looks good so you'll enjoy what you take home. I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience or wanting to try a new art form! Only thing is that it's a fairly pricey experience, so might not plan on being a recurring activity.

This was my first glass blowing experience and I would happily go back to take more classes!…read more My mom told me she wanted to do a glass blowing class for Mother's Day so I planned ahead, researched a few options, and came across this recommended place! I was happy to see they have several different classes, including a Mother's Day heart making workshop--and don't worry, this is definitely for beginners and newbies! The whole class lasted about a little over an hour and it starts with a tour of the place and then leads into the actual glass blowing activity. The space is very cool by the way. You can see dozens of hand made pieces (and purchase them) and they just added a bar and lounge that will be accessible for events and reserving too! For the glass blowing portion, they have two workstations that can probably accommodate up to 4 guests each, and two glass blowing instructors so each group of up to 4 can have attention, and I thought this worked out well. They start the glass blowing portion with a demo and then allow you to get involved (with lots of guidance and assistance for very levels of comfort and handling). Our instructor was very friendly and super engaging, which I appreciated because I know my mom was a little nervous at times. If you're doing a class, do please take their recommendation seriously of bringing water because it will get hot when you're in the workstation! Overall, both my mom and I were very pleased with our Mother's Day hearts and even though they take time to cool, we were both happy when we got the call the next day that they were ready for pick up (you can also do delivery too). My mom and I had a wonderful experience here and we both plan to return for another holiday themed glass blowing class.
