This was pretty amazing and definitely worth it if you'll be in the area for a few days. Our instructor was patient and helpful walking each of us through our creations. He gave us enough autonomy that we really felt like we were doing the work but there every step of the way so that we couldn't fail . Keep in mind though that after you make your glass creation it has to cure for a couple days so plan accordingly. I had one friend that was flying out so they do give the option of shipping it to you as well for convenience. I would love to come back and do more pieces here read more

Erin at the front desk was friendly and got us checked right in even though we were a few minutes late Joseph who worked with us to design out pieces explained everything we would be doing, helped pick our colors and was so good at answering questions. Amazing he has been doing glass blowing since he was 12 WOW! GO SEE THEM IN SEATTLE! read more

Very cool glass blowing gallery with lots of glass art pieces from the very affordable, to the crazy expensive. There was a class going on while we were walking through. I would totally take that glass if we were going to be staying here in the city few more days. The coolest thing is that they can make a custom made glass blown figurine of your dog from a photo. Once we adopt another pup, we will be ordering one of those. read more

Our private lesson glass blowing class was a magical way to spend time with my parents visiting from out of town. We do not have an artistic background but was able to make 5 beautiful pieces in 3 hrs. Our instructor, Darrian, has an amazing teaching style that makes the experience not intimating for first timers. read more

Glass blowing studio with decent selection at reasonable prices. We stopped by this afternoon after spending most of the day at the Chihuly museum, so we had a good sense for what high quality glasswork looks like. They offer classes and had a glass blowing session in progress (with students) when we were there. We browsed and admired the art, and our tween even bought a glass photo frame as her "PNW trip souvenir" - the lady at the counter was a big help! Worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

We reserved a 3 hour session and were not sure what to expect. Once we arrived we were warmly greeted. Quinn was going to be our person. Quinn was so awesome. He was so patient, kind and so informative, he made the experience better than anyone of us could have imagined. We made a total of 7 pieces. We made 3 pumpkins, 2 ornaments, 1 vase, and 1 double walled bowl. We all witnessed how another group was and we could not appreciate Quinn enough, because the other group was not as hands on as we were. Quinn lets us be as hands on and included as he could. He let us take an abundance of videos and pictures. For the experience that we had and fun we had it was definitely worth the price. We will absolutely be back and hopefully be able to have Quinn. I would recommend him every time!! read more

I paid for my sister, myself and daughter to do a piece of blown glass. We called and were told 4:30. We got there at 4:03 and they were mad we were 3 minutes late. We apologized for the confusion and were treated horribly. The man helping us did not explain how to get enough color on the hot glass. He just showed it quickly and no other assistance until next step. Seemed as though we were annoying and it made us uncomfortable. This has been my dream to do this with my family and 2 pieces turned out pretty good but my sisters hardly had any color at all and it seemed like she put a lot on. Again, he was not attentive at all. I would not recommend going here if you can goto the coast. They are so much more fun. Biggest regret and so sad as it was supposed to be a fun memory. read more

My son and I took a glass blowing workshop together. We absolutely loved the entire process and learned so much. Choosing what project we were making and the colors was really cool. Our assigned artist, Joe M. was exceptional and interactive. His love for the art of glassblowing made the experience extra special. His passion certainly made both of us want to do it again! We love our pieces. read more

Amazing. I attended a special closed evening event. The artists engaged the audience while working. They were so kind answering questions and truly enjoyable to talk to. The gallery has a large variety of styles for sale. I would give more than 5 stars if possible. read more

For many years, I have wanted to make glass. I was visiting family in Seattle and thought glass making in the northwest mecca of such activity would be fun.  I signed up my son and I at Seattle Glass Works for a class. It far exceeded our expectations. The expert instructor was thoughtful, helpful, patient, flexible and a pleasure to work with. It's very much a handson experience. We made a total of four substantial pieces and they are gorgeous. read more

This definitely should be on your bucket list when you visit Seattle. I called and spoke with the receptionist who recommended the 1 hour lesson and I got the create my own option. Meaning I was open to doing any item on the class shelf they offer. I did a pumpkin and a bowl. Quinn was my instructor and he made this trip here to Seattle a memorable experience. read more

I have always had a great time and experience with everyone there they are knowledgeable- in what they do and work hard in helping you have a great experience when taking classes - I have taken a lot of classes there thank you ! read more

I liked this place. Called in to ask a question about the Groupon I was on the verge of purchasing and they offered me the same price and scheduled me in. Joe was our instructor and was super cool and informative. Gave us some independence to do little things and took over as needed. We didn't feel restricted, just felt like he was keeping us safe. I read some of the other reviews and I will say yes, the amount you pay for 30mins does go quick. And 85-90% of the activity is guided or the instructor handles. But you have to remember you are working with a furnace that is about 2200 degrees. If you go and melt your arm off & it's gone for life you then wonder..... "why didn't they put preventive measures from allowing this happening??" Since the city is very big on glass and if you are visiting I would recommend certainly giving them a visit, especially if you've never done something like this before. read more

My friend found a Groupon online for two to take the one hour glassblowing class. Such a fun and unique experience. We thought we would be doing either an ornament or a paperweight, but we got there and we could choose between 5 items. It was such a tough decision! It is recommended to wear cotton clothes (denim, tshirts) and closed toed shoes are a must. You must wear eye protection. You can bring your own, or they have some you can use (cleaned inbetween each new person) We worked with Stevie. He was very knowledgable about glass blowing. I was sad we didn't actually get to physically do the glass blowing, but I understand due to COVID. We got to do everything else - help heat it up, shape it and make it how we wanted. The hour went by very quickly but we are both happy with how our products came out. You don't get your piece right away. You have to let it cool for 2 days and then you have two months to pick it up. They can also ship it. If you pick it up, it's always good to double check and make sure you are going home with the right item. Our name got accidentally got attached to another bag, so I'm glad I checked and didn't go home with someone else's goodies! I have attached our finished products! read more

My two kids and I have watched all the seasons of Blown Away on Netflix. We've seen glass blowers at Fairs and amusement parks. It's something we've wanted to do for a while. We were going to go to Seattle for vacation. While looking for things to do, I found this establishment on Groupon. My kids couldn't say yes quick enough when I brought up this experience. We scheduled ourselves for the group experience for 3 hours. If you go to the website and don't find a convenient time, I recommend calling them to see if there is some flexibility. That is what I did, and it worked out great for us. Our instructor, Ellye, was amazing! We had never worked with making glass and she explained what we were doing and why. We got lessons on working with glass and a little history lesson at the same time. We made three ornaments, two glasses, and one paperweight. Ellye was great working with us and let us work as quickly as we wanted. This is an active studio as well. On one side of us was another class. On the other side of us was an artist creating a piece that would go on display and sale on site. We got to see it live. We got to see it again on Instagram. I would highly recommend this business for glass blowing classes and their shop where you can buy various items from the artists who sell their art pieces. Would we do this again? Absolutely! read more

Oh my gosh. So so so much fun. I was kind of skeptical. This was a Christmas Present for my husband because he has been wanting to do it for awhile and he was like a little kid. He just loved it. Me, being skeptical, can honestly say it was a great morning. We made some cool pieces, learned a new skill, met some people and genuinely enjoyed ourselves. Step out of your comfort zone. read more

Great family create-your-own piece of art glassblowing experience in the hotshop with Daniel. Highly recommend his instruction and class. We had a minor miracle occur during our family session - grumpy family member refused to participate, wanted to go home, and after seeing two of us laugh, create, make mistakes, learn, and be coached through the work by Daniel, they decided to participate and ended up having a good time creating their own work (they liked it so much they are now signed up for a beginning glassblowing class!) Did I do a lot? I did some of the work. I was totally happy with the amount I did - it taught me that glassblowing looks easy because the folks that do it have put in their 10,000 hours perfecting their craft. I'm really happy with my piece because it looks the way I wanted it to look... and there's no way I could have done it on my own. We used Groupon for the discount which was nice to have. Another Top 10 for visiting Seattle - but do this early in trip, so the pieces of glass art have time to anneal (2 days) before they can be taken home. read more

Yes yes yes! First of all - we purchased a Groupon for a glass blowing session pre-pandemic.... Then everything happened. We were worried that having had the Groupon for so long it wouldn't be honored, or would be an issue of some sort.... And it wasn't. The folks in charge handled the situation with grace and ease and kindness and that started off a wonderful experience! We made an appointment, showed up, were greeted kindly, signed a waver, went back for a session with an instructor who was informative, helpful, made us feel competent (while still basically doing all the work for us) and funny. Our guy had a delightful mix of making you feel like you were doing it yourself, when at the same time you obviously weren't (Thank God). I *highly* recommend this experience. 10/10. read more

Hands down the coolest experience ever with the best people! We booked last min but Ali was sweet to squeeze us in the next day with William (tip: calling sometimes has more options for booking). We booked for my 2 kids to do the pressed/smaller pieces. It was amazing to see them so hands-on with creating such beautiful pieces, of course guided. I didn't know glass studios would allow kids to participate but I am so glad they do. William was so patient and helpful explaining the process. Unplanned, we were also to squeeze in a hand blown item to make too. We went with a pumpkin and we chose the color and again had a veryhands-on experience. We have been watching the Nextflix series Blown Away and actually being able to work with glass was a treat. The beautiful shop has such unique pieces that we couldn't resist a couple pieces from there too. read more

This has been on our bucket list since I saw my friend's kids take a class here in 2019. We finally got to go back to Seattle this month and the first thing I did (after booking flights) was reserve a session for my kids. I am grateful to the other reviewers who mentioned the Groupon, so I purchased one for my older one and booked another directly through this store's website for my youngest (no Groupon available for her age range). If you purchase a Groupon, once you get the confirmation email (with the code on top), call the store to reserve a day/time. It's quick and easy. My youngest one (who took the 5-10 years old class) chose to make a sand dollar paper weight (I believe there are 5 options). The class was scheduled for 15 minutes but I think it was closer to 25 minutes. Our instructor, William, was such a fantastic teacher! There are so many people who are brilliant at what they do, but are unable to effectively teach others. William was amazing with our kids. He explained everything thoroughly (without boring them), invited family members to get closer so we could see and hear (safety goggles required), and made jokes that had us all laughing. My oldest chose to make a pumpkin. For her age group (11+ years old), there are also 5 options. The class is scheduled for 30 minutes but I think it was closer to 45. I'm so glad that the kids never felt rushed and that William let them do as much as they could. I did let the kids know beforehand that due to safety, the instructor would guide and help them a lot. Both kids felt they did a lot and could truly say they created their projects (versus the instructor doing most of it). They told me that they want to do this every time we visit Seattle. 48 hours later (after the projects cool), we went back to pick them up. They bubble wrap it for you so that you can pack them safely in your bags to take home (they also ship but I am unsure what they charge). Our friends were also in Seattle at the same time and signed up their son as well, so he went after my kids. He also told his parents he loved it and wants to do it again. This was such a fun and unique experience and the kids got such a special souvenir to bring home! I have recommended this to everyone I know who will be visiting Seattle in the next few months. Hopefully you can request our instructor, William! William - if you're reading this...thank you for giving my kids such a positive and fun lesson/experience last week! They said it was the highlight of our trip! read more

Super great place! They hosted a recent Amazing Race season finale so it was fun to see it in person. Beautiful pieces from artists all over the PNW. You can even purchase tools and supplies to glassblow at home. We didn't take a class here but you can! Very friendly employees and great value. read more

OMG! So much fun and so worth it! Private 2 hr class with William was fantastic! Time flew by and he made it so informative and comfortable--just like being with an old friend. Great workshop for we beginners--show one, do one philosophy with lots of guidance. Amazing how hard it is to remember to keep the glass spinning. Custom colors and mult options for creation make this so unique and memorable. We get to take home custom creations! Or at least have them mailed home. Would definitely recommend and return! read more

I had an amazing experience with the private glass blowing lesson I booked for my birthday! It was really personalizes and fun, and I learned a lot about the process. Safety precautions were taken very seriously both for covid 19 and playing with fire! I had a lot of fun getting to participate! I recommend getting the full 2 hours for $275. You make money off of all you get to make! Some tips: You need 2 days for pick up or shipping for the things you will make. In addition, this is a tipping opportunity! You can tip your instructor on your credit card! read more

Tried to get a last minute class but wasn't able too. I was able to catch a last minute demonstration, where a glass blowing expert, Joy, demo'ed how to make small glass animal portraits. She showed a jellyfish, alligator and a sea-like alien (how she uses excess material). Super interesting and informative for those interested in glass blowing. Joy had a fun personality too. Next to the demo they had a couple doing a glass blowing class, so it was cool to watch the amateurs try too. Fun spot. read more

What a disappointment. I was so hopeful that this was going to be a unique and memorable experience. Oh, it was memorable - just not the way I had hoped. NOT WORTH THE PRICE PAID... I bought two 30 minute sessions as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I called to make the reservation and was delighted with the woman that assisted me. She was kind and helpful and a joy to speak with. I hate to say it...but that is where the great customer service concluded. We showed up for our time slot in February (the month will make sense in a minute). As we watched the couple in front of us do their project, we quickly realized that this was not what we had anticipated. The experience is 90% executed by the instructor. I got to pick out what I wanted to make and the pattern and color. After that, the involvement was limited. They do most of it. I understand it is dangerous and an art that needs a specific skill set and training - but I felt like a kindergartener. Our instructor was not sincere, he seemed like he was going through the motions and I felt like he was not engaged. Then when I was done, he quickly whisked my project away. It happened so fast that I did not even get to take a picture of it. I paid $150.00 for 30 minutes and was so rushed I was at the counter in 20 minutes feeling completely let down. My boyfriend (whom I bought this experience for) decided to cancel his time. They were at least willing to refund us. Then a few days later, my bowl came in the mail - it was lopsided and sloppy. I guess if they are going to control 90% of the experience, it should at least look good. I could have purchased something better for less and not wasted my time. I wish I could have sent it back since I felt bad for throwing it in the garbage. But after all of that - it was not something I was going to display. The reason the date of our experience was important, is that about two weeks after - I emailed them directly to give my feedback - that was a MONTH AGO. Too often people take to social media to share their opinion and do not even give the company the chance to make it right or even know the feedback before it goes public. I tried to be the bigger person - wanting nothing in return except maybe a response and got NOTHING. They could not even reply to my email and acknowledge my frustration or disappointment. Seriously?! So now I feel the need to at least warn other people. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. read more

Seattle Glassblowing hit it out of the park. Twenty-four of us gathered at their beautiful studio for an experience we will always remember. Each instructor was kind, funny, smart, and super creative. I highly recommend you schedule your session today. Tuxedo & Tennis Shoes catered our event. Their food was delicious, and they were wonderful to work with. Overall, a 5-star adventure that I would do again in a heart. Thank you again Seattle Glassblowing for making our kickoff so memorable. read more

This was so much fun. If you are into glass at all, definitely do a class here. Yes, it's pricey, but you'll come out with a lovely glass object or two (depending on the class) that is worth something in itself, plus you've paid for your instructor's time and expertise. And if you're not sure, come check out the gallery full of amazing art and watch the hot shop at work. Definitely a great thing to do whether you live here or are visiting from out of town. The Northwest glass movement is such a big part of overall local art scene, it's really fun to get a closer view of how glass artists do their work. Just do it! read more

Saw this place via instagram and I thought it would be such a cool experience! My in laws had come up to visit for the week and it was their 30th wedding anniversary so we decided to book an experience for the four of us. They didn't have any openings until the last day of their trip which just so happened to be the date of their anniversary so we jumped on the open slot they did offer us. Fast forward to the AFTERNOON before we were supposed to go and I receive a voicemail stating that they were going to CANCEL our booking AFTER they already took 600 bucks from us! I was livid. The girl who was on the phone with me told us that there was basically nothing they could do unless we were willing to move our reservation to a different date. She was hardly apologetic stating what was she to do since one of her employees called in sick? I ended up finding a different glass blowing studio in Tacoma and told the girl to refund us. The place in Tacoma was way more accommodating and they were cheaper! Our pieces came out fantastic. Over all super disappointed with this place. read more

My daughter gave me a Groupon coupon for Christmas & I could hardly wait to try making glass. The instructor was awesome and explained things throughly! I was nervous at first, but soon was too busy assisting in the process. It is a fascinating art and it was awesome to walk through the process. In less than an hour, I had a glass bowl, so cool! The instructor did the majority of the work, but let me participate just enough to feel like I had a part in creating the bowl! The ovens are pretty hot and I'm sure there is so much more to this process, but thank the folks at Seattle Glass Studio for making it a memorable experience! read more
