Where do I begin to write this review for Burnt Glassworks? Would it be the variety of items you…read morecan make? Or would it be the phenomenal customer support from Zach and Andy? Or would it be the multiple collections of colors you can select from? Or finally would it be for the items you can buy in their mini showroom? This is the first time I had ever done something like this at the suggestion of my cousin who had also never done it before after reading reviews. She said this is what we're doing. I have to say this was probably one of the funnest events I have done in years! Being able to create something of beauty and not having talent doesn't matter because of the instructions received from Andy. Speaking of Andy, I have to say he is a phenomenal teacher! He explains things in great detail yet in such a way that he is not talking over you or above you but rather with you. He explains by example and by words. He was very patient through the process understanding had never done something like this, and allowed me to express creativity along the way. When it came to the end, describing what the opening of the boss would look like he gave me various options. I cannot commend Andy enough for his outstanding skill at working with others! Now let's talk about Zach who worked the desk and also assisted Andy. He greeted us with a smile, was very friendly and explained to us what the process was going to be. With a fantastic sense of humor and a willingness to be customer centered Zach truly made a difference today as he was the first one we worked with and the last one. From beginning to end my cousin and I had the most fantastic service! If you're looking for something fun to do, supporting a local artist, and building something with your hands, I cannot suggest coming to burnt glassworks enough !!!

I went to make a glass blow snowman. My friend chose it as has birthday activity. I've never done…read moreglass blowing before and I'm not good at any type of visual art. However, the staff here is amazing and they were so pleasant and helpful! Each person goes one at a time, for safety, and they talk you through each step of the peace as and are hand one with you through each step. It was so fun and my snowman looks amazing . You were able to pick any 2 colors from a great variety of colors and patterns - one for the body of the snowman and one for the hat. They even had already made examples so you could see some that were traditional (white snow body and red hat) and some that used different color pairs. The 4 of us were done within 45 minutes or so - each taking just over 10 minutes to make. They also have a showroom of already made items in display. I will definitely be back.

Found this business via Local Flavor or probably wouldn't have known about it…read more Cute little shop in the heart of Edgewood, owned by a mother and daughter duo. They were both so sweet & helpful! They have hundreds of designs to choose from or they can pretty much create just about anything you want. They also have tons of different shapes and sizes of boards from which to choose. The daughter explained the whole process to us and let us roll. You start by staining the board then blow drying it so you can get to the next step. That would be applying the sticker stencil then painting with a good 3 or so coats. Let that baby dry then voila! Masterpiece done. I highly recommend this business! Support locals, have a blast (ummm BYOB!!), and create a gift (or keep for yourself )

I had purchased a Groupon for this crafting session- and had to email back and forth to schedule…read moreand redeem the groupons. There was a break in communication over several days- so I reached out again to make sure we were booked and it was as though I had never emailed in the first place- although the email chain was all below. The shop is located in Murray Hill and it looks run down outside- we happened to pick the same night as Octoberfest was being celebrated by another business and parking was a bear. Once through the door our instructor was very chatty and thoroughly gave instruction- our group consisted of three of us and we are all crafters, who also all work at Michael's. Which we did tell our lovely instructor- we probably could have sped up the process a bit because of it- but we kept at the pace set by our leader. This is not a franchise- but an honest Jacksonville start up business. I do appreciate that. We stained our wood, set our stencils on our boards and were off to pick paints. They only do chalk paints and I learned a valuable lesson using these paints. They stink! I am going to assume that chalk paints can go bad- because I can't imagine anyone buying and using paints that smelled like dead animals- but that's exactly what some of these jars smelled like when I cracked them open. Tiff - my friend- works a ranch and completely agreed with my assessment! I am hyper sensitive to smells and this threw me. I pushed on and finished painting. Our instructor tried to give us tips- haha- I say try because us stubborn crafters barely followed her suggestions. I wanted my paint to still show the wood grain beneath- she thought I should've put more paint on- but I ended up with exactly the desired look. My one friend- Naomi didn't want any bright colors that would clash with her home- not even on her Halloween sign! I thought it was cute- she was so set on just black, white and gray. Tiff- she slathered the most paint on and hers was tacky-damp even as she left my house an hour after! Instruction = 4 stars (slow but thorough) Paint = 2 stars for the ones almost empty- they were noxious Final product = 5 stars we all had fun and left happy

I love being able to go into a framing shop, and actually get input and advice from the framers.

About middle of the road considering how many things I have had framed. In the end, as long as I am in Jax I will continue to seek their services.

We went on sangria night , so they served free sangria which was nice but we also were able to bring our own drinks. The boards were already cut we just stained and painted them with our design. We wanted to add in some lines so we left them there since that stencil wasn't cut yet and picked them up at a different time. After we picked them up my fiancé put the poly acrylic on it to finish the boards. The process wasn't hard and we even added on the corn hole bags to go with our board. We loved how they turned out and the experience!
