Incredibly beautiful art work. I love the art we bought, thank you . She is a magician with glass.

I recently spent a day at Gott Glass Studio having fun with fire! I participated in a glass making workshop and got to work with the glass from start to finish, ending up with a glass heart to give as a gift. Susan was amazing and let me have a lot of hands on participation during the process while making sure I was being safe and explaining the process as we went along. Whether you want to work with molten glass, watch others work with it or browse the glass art, either way, it is a unique place and an amazing experience that I highly recommend! read more

I was so excited to have this experience on Saturday morning, It did not disappoint. JUSTIN was incredible with his way to teach why we were doing the different steps to make my piece. I had one on one and it was worth the money to make a incredible platter. It was icing on the cake that Susan Gott was in the studio. Having a personal tour of her work was just incredible. read more

This was my second time at Gott Glass. The first was in December to make a glass ornaments with a friend. It was fun. We got to help a lot and they explained as we went along the process. This last trip was with my sister to make a Garden Globe and tumbler. My sister went first and made her rainbow Globe. She got to do a lot of the work on it and was thrilled with the outcome. I made a tumbler in which I also got to do a lot of the work and he explained well the purpose of each step. The only thing I wish is that my tumbler was bigger. It is the size of a juice glass. All in all it was great and will be back to make the pumpkins or bowls. read more

After taking a glass blowing class, I need to bump my rating for Phoenix Glass Studio up from 4 stars to 5 stars. I love that the Owner, Susan Gott, worked with me every step of the way in creating my glass pumpkin for Halloween. From the very start of the process and explaining step by step what would occur, to actually putting it in motion, it was a great experience from beginning to end. She even planned perfect photo opportunities. The studio offers ornament glass blowing in December, and glass flower creation for Mother's Day. Susan is also now participating in the Seminole Heights First Friday events, so stop by and check out her studio. Plus, with the holidays coming, this is a great spot to pick up cool and unique gifts. read more

Gott Glass Gallery and Phoenix Studio - Tada! The finished pumpkin I made. - Art Galleries Near Me - Tampa, Florida

One of the best parts of my trip to Tampa. The sign said welcome so I walked on in. Evelyn, the Studio Manager found me a few minutes later, welcomed me and showed me around. She gave me a brief run down of the ovens and the 750 pounds of molten glass they use each week. She explained about the casts they use and the colors they add and what happens to all the broken leftovers. She even offered to show me how they "charge" the ovens, adding additional material after pieces have been made. She was bright and energetic and friendly and capable of slinging 50 pounds sacks of chemicals easier than you'd ever suppose. They were having an open house a couple days after I visited that the kids would have loved but sadly California to Florida is a pretty serious drive so we had to pass. And peek behind the studio and take a look at that spectacular tree house. It was all I could do to resist running over for an inner child satisfying, up close and personal kind of a look. read more

Really great experience and you get to take home a memory . My husband and I have been twice and plan to keep coming . Justin is very informative and friendly. read more

This was an excellent experience for anyone who has been wanting to attempt glass blowing! We had purchased the one hour Hot Date glass blowing class, which started on time. This class was the 2 of us and our private instructor, Justin. Justin, showed us around and explained the process to us. We each had 30 min to make our personal item of choice. The class was a great mix of instruction and hands on glass blowing. Justin was very thorough in explaining the process, ensuring our safety, and making sure the completed product looked like what it was supposed to be. We did need to return after a couple of days to pick up our completed project, both of which we loved!! We are looking forward to returning and creating more masterpieces! read more

I received the gift of this workshop for Mother"s Day. My teenage son and I made 3 pieces. We received excellent hands on individual instruction. The pieces we made were beautiful and actually bigger than I thought they would be. We really had a nice time. The trainer was very good, had a lot of patience and obviously enjoys what he does. I highly encourage people take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. read more

Gott Glass? Well...you should! I had the opportunity to take a glass blowing class here with my friend Karen F. and had such a great time. Not only is the owner Susan Gott, inexplicably talented, she was very friendly, patient, and helpful. I have always wanted to try glass blowing (insert wise cracks here), but I never made it happen. I was so excited when Karen mentioned the opportunity to me and jumped at the chance to go! Before the start of our lesson, we had a chance to roam Susan's studio. Her work is nothing short of amazing. There are so many gorgeous things to choose from and they are priced quite reasonable, too. The Phoenix Glass Studio is located in Seminole Heights. Would you have expected anywhere else for this amazing studio? This Friday (11/07), Susan will be participating in the Seminole Heights First Fridays Gallery Walk. The gallery will also be open for First Friday in December (12/05). Even more exciting, the studio is offering workshops and demos on Friday, 11/27, Saturday, 11/28, and Friday, 12/05. If you are looking for a unique gift or something different for your home, you should most definitely stop by. Be sure to checkout Susan's website at: www.GOTTGLASS.com. Pictures of my glass pumpkin will be uploaded soon. Karen F. is holding it hostage for some reason or another... read more

Susan Gott has long been a fixture in the Florida arts scene, and her sprawling studio/glass blowing/making facility in Seminole Heights is always a great place to visit, and an even better place to drop some cash. A few times a year she holds open house type events and does glass blowing deal, decorates and has a nice little party type atmosphere for all who come. The rest of the year, you can call ahead and/or just stop in and knock and see what she has created. Prices range from 20 bucks to 10K+ for some of the bigger pieces, and she does a good deal of public art these days. She always has a smile and always has great work on display. I follow her on Facebook, where she sends out invites for her occasional open house events. read more

We brought our 14 year old son here last Saturday to blow his own glass Christmas ornament and what a wonderful group of people they were. The instructor was patient and kind and made the experience very memorable for my son. The ornament came out beautiful! The entire staff was helpful, welcoming and very courteous. The gallery in the back was full of beautiful things to look at and purchase. This is a Seminole Heights gem. Support this local business! read more

I was looking for something different and new to do for one of my friends bdays and I saw other Yelp reviews for this glass studio and decided to look into it. From the beginning, Justin (the studio manager and one of the instructors) was extremely informative & personalized the experience for our group. We had a private class with Justin, who made sure we had a fantastic time while teaching us, and making sure we didn't mess up our pieces. The prices were very reasonable and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon! If you're looking for something unique and fun, I would highly recommend checking Gott Glass out! read more

What an amazing local art vendor! I came in for a First Friday event and had a wonderful time! Upon entering, we were advised that there would be a glass blowing demonstration. They offered us complimentary snacks and alcoholic beverages, which was a nice touch. The glass blower was extremely engaging and explained what he was doing every step of the way. He let us look into the heat areas and the kilns and talked through how the whole process worked. It was really a great time watching the demonstration. Upon entering the shop, we were really impressed with the amount of different artisanal glass objects that they sell. Every piece in here is unique and beautiful. We ended up walking out with 3 unique Christmas ornaments that we will enjoy for years to come. Definitely check this place out! It is a fun experience with great products! read more
