    I was looking for a unique team building event and came across the group classes at North Shore…read moreGlass School. There were several options to choose from, and our group selected the fused glass bowl. Ben was our instructor - who was super helpful and informative! We had a great time and can't wait to pick up our finished pieces. Highly recommend and will definitely be back for glass blowing.

    Are you tired of hosting bouncy house/indoor inflatable playground type of parties for your kid? I…read moreknow I cannot attend another one so I started searching for some cool venues. This place came up so I sent an inquiry in the summer. The response was so quick and I immediately scored a date and time for my kid's birthday for the fall. Thank you, Eve! They are not in downtown/main strip of Salem but that's perfect because they have own parking lot. Everyone had a blast at the pendant making class. Even the parents asked how I came up with this idea. They listed a few packages online and I settled with fused glass pendant. It lasted for two hours (1.5 hours to go over safety demo and making of the product(s), and remaining for snacks, cake etc. Ben was amazing with the kids! We had ten minutes left and he gave the kids a quick flame torch demo. Although I selected fused glass pendant class, the kids were able to make magnet, keychain, earrings. Thank you for extra options. The school was equipped with first aid kit. One thing I would suggest is to have more than 2 pairs of kids gloves. Or make this as a requirement like the goggles. NSGS accepts all forms of payment - Venmo, cash, credit card or check. Check out their awesome class offerings online or their Facebook page. Highly recommended and I would go back! The bathroom is in the back. A small fridge is available so don't bring a huge cake. Our ice cream cake did not melt in our cooler so that's an option.

    Our 1 month old daughter passed away and we knew we wanted some memorial art made from her ashes…read more We found Terrapin on Google, and were happy that it was a local business. We got a little tour of the studio, they were professional, and courteous. They kept the idea of "preserving the chain of custody" very present, which was extremely important to us. We did not want to have to mail anything anywhere. The pieces we received were very nice, we got 3 suncatchers and 2 adder stone pendants. Very impressed with the quality, the glass is very dense and heavy it feels good. I'd recommend this business to anyone looking for custom glass art and a respectful, local business for memorial art services. We are VERY happy with what we got, but if I had to give any feedback to this business it would be: Picking up the finished products was a bit of a let down. We had to make an appointment and they left the glass outside in a lockbox. An old COVID era policy. It would have been nice to actually thank them for the work, as this was a very emotional, connected process for us. We had to make appointments to drop off, and pick up. And to be honest my wife didn't love the idea of "our daughter being left in a box outside". I'm really not trying to sound overly critical, I just want the business to know this is our feedback on the matter. Overall we TOTALLY RECOMMEND this business. The finished products are really nice, and the quality is really something that's offered us a lot in the way of being able to continue to love and hold our daughter. I'd give the products a 5/5 based on everything, but I'm gunna give them a 4/5 overall because of the dated policies.

    Suppose if you rent the place out, this is the business but for classes, not so much. Everyone…read morewho's rented or who's a resident seemed to be very happy. We did two classes so far, neither teacher was great. The glass blowing class was super hands-off. We only got to actually manipulate the glass 3 times for the cost we paid. The flameworking class was better, but we moved too fast and I don't think I took away any skills outside of just having a generic overview of it. If I went back tomorrow, I probably will have forgotten anything I got from it last weekend.

    Recently several friends and I signed up for Friday Night Fun with Glass Blowing: Saint Paddy's…read moreBeer Glass with the Worcester Center for Crafts/New Street GlassWorks. Both the Center for Crafts and New Street GlassWorks are affiliated with Worcester State University. The New Street GlassWorks is equipped with a glass furnace that keeps 400 pounds of clear glass melted and ready for instant red-hot use. Three "glory holes" are cranked up as needed for glassblowers making use of the hot shop. There's also a cold shop, a mold shop, a flat shop, six rental studios and a flame working studio. The cost for our class was very reasonable (about 80$) and it was a fun way to spend a Friday night with friends. Our instructors were Caitlin , Emory and Ian. After a quick safety lesson, description of the tools and equipment, Caitlin got to work demonstrating what we would soon be doing ourselves. They regularly reminded us about safety because of how easy it is to get burned. If you are not careful with molten glass heated to about 2000 it isn't hard to see how you could get burned given how closely you are while were working with the materials. We had two options; we could make a colored beer stein with a handle or we could make a clear beer stein with a green shamrock. I decided on the clear beer stein since I didn't want a handle and I thought it would be cooler to have a clear glass to see my beer in. I went first and I was paired with Emory as my instructor and assistant. Emory had a great personality and immediately put me at ease. He made the process both fun and informative. I am absolutely going to take another class here and can't wait for my next experience.
