Tina, the owner, will welcome and guide you through the process with patience and humor, no matter your age! It's a wonderful way to spend the day or even just a couple of hours with your kids, your friends, or even your sweetie. I can't speak highly enough of this place. As a long time customer, I'm greeted with hugs and waves from other regular customers, although Tina really treats everyone like an old friend, even when it's your first visit. Whether you are a local or just visiting Whidbey Island, you should stop by and spend a few fun, relaxing hours here exploring your creativity and maybe even making some new friends!

Not to mention outside has huge glass yard and garden sculptures- it looks fun! We drove by and I practically jumped out of the moving car! Not literally, but my excitement was jumping. Inside my artistic little soul was in heaven- huge pieces dazzled me and tiny treasure were just as enticing. They have one artist that makes miniatures and they were all so sweet- I snagged a tiny black cat! I also picked up a couple Christmas gifts & another glass ball for my collection- I hadn't bought one in years & John may have encouraged me a bit since it was such a cool "hot shop". I didn't even mind waiting to check out as the workers were blowing a vase, once it was ready to break from the punty- the master glass blower broke to ring me up. Great value for all the goodies I snagged!

What an incredible experience. I booked a Christmas ornament glass blowing experience with Jason…read morevia Airbnb for my mom's birthday. For $150/person we got over 2+ hours of instruction plus creating our ornament. Our experience began with learning about the basics of glass blowing. We watched him perform each skill and then we each got a chance to do it ourselves. Next, we picked out which Christmas ornament we would like to create. There is so much customization possible! He had great suggestions to help our visions come to life. Lastly, we created our ornaments one by one. We had to leave our ornaments in the kiln for about an hour, so Jason recommended Paddle Stick pub for us to grab lunch. When we came back, they were beautifully wrapped. It was a wonderful holiday activity, and we have handmade ornaments to treasure forever.

I knew he was the artist I wanted for making a unique memorial piece. He designed the orb to look like as I used to call her "my little universe" She had a very pink nose and the small dot where the light comes from in the orb is pink glass , that way I can still kiss her in the nose, I have spent the year traveling and I take her with me everywhere I go. Jason and his wife were truly kind and in my case working in the funeral field I know how important it is to know the ashes of our love ones are safe and treated with respect so I absolutely recommend StarryNightGlassArt and Jason as I do when ever a family or friend ask me for. Thanks A. Rolland

The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. We started our projects with bare wood, and ended up taking home some beautifully crafted items that will be keepsakes for years to come.

Where else can you completely check out of your busy life for 3 hours and just have fun doing something creative without interruptions? Did I mention that they do all the clean up for you? It is definitely worth the price for everything they provide for you. They literally have thought of everything. Even if you are a beginner with no crafting experience, they will help guide you and your piece will turn out beautiful and it will be one of a kind. This place is truly top notch.
