    We learned to make two pieces -- great teaching and beautiful work. Highly recommend! The teacher was clear, patient and encouraging. I can't wait to do this again!

    My husband and I were in Newport for our honeymoon and booked a glass blowing class. Our instructor was Jeff who was so kind and informative. This was such a fun activity and my husband and I really enjoyed the experience. Jeff had great energy and I would highly recommend a taking a class at The Hot Shop!

    Wow! Taking a glass blowing class at The Hot Shop with Jeff was one of the highlights of our trip to the Oregon Coast. The time flew by as my husband and I made our glass art pieces. It was so much fun and our pieces turned out more beautiful than we expected. It was all due to Jeff's clear instructions, adding extra techniques to add interest to our pieces and him making sure each step was done correctly. I made a vase and my husband a bowl. Jeff is a natural teacher and a talented artist. He is knowledgeable, experienced, reassuring, friendly and laidback. He let us do as much or as little as we wanted ( we wanted to do as much as possible). We got exactly what we wanted and were involved the whole time. When I came to a part I wasn't feeling confident about I asked him if he would do that part and he jumped right in there and did it. It was easy to signup for a class online Before we started, Jeff gave us options on colors, styles etc and after getting an idea of what we wanted he made it happen. He led us through each step and taught us about the equipment and supplies, safety, why each step is done, different techniques used in glass making, lots of facts about glass and its properties and even about famous glass artists. He was more than willing to answer all of our questions. We had lots It is clear Jeff loves what he is doing and enjoys sharing his passion for glass blowing with others. We are so glad we found The Hot Shop and look forward to our next trip to the Coast when we can create some new pieces with Jeff. If you don't have time for a class, I recommend stopping by and buying an already made piece. The shop has lots of beautiful items including oil bottles, vases, floats, bowls, paperweights, jewelry and more. I picked up some earrings while I was there.

    We had a fantastic experience at The Hot Shop! Our 2 grandsons had their first lessons in glass blowing. Jeff was patient and gave them the perfect balance of instruction and assistance while allowing them to create their own beautiful pieces. His wife was very sweet and helpful as we chose some additional items to take home for gifts. I highly recommend The Hot Shop for lessons and shopping!

    My wife's gal pal insisted we visit the Hot Shop while on the coast as she has in the past and we're so glad we did. Jeff, the owner/artisan showed us countless blown glass pieces and let us choose our colors, size, etc. He is the consummate teacher as he walked us through each step of the process and didn't 'direct' us. One 'student' at a time so we got his undivided attention. We had a wonderful time creating 'floats' that we'll always enjoy displaying in our home. After we see them 'cooled' tomorrow, he'll safely ship them to ur home. A stop at this artist's shop to blow your own glass art is a must!

    What a great experience. Jeff is super friendly and very patient. There is a wide variety of things you can give a try at. We each made a float and would definitely do it again! Throughly worth it.

    This is the float I purchased. It glows in the dark!!!!

    This place is amazing!! Prices are reasonable & the glassworks are stunning. I recommend this place for unique floats. He does shipping. A fun area of Newport also!!!

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary on the coast and decided we wanted to take a glass blowing class. We had stopped by the place in Lincoln City (Taft) several times in the past. I searched yelp for something closer to Seal Rock (where we were staying) and The Hot Shop came up. We are SOOOOO glad we decided to go here. Jeff was a great teacher and allowed us to work the glass through the entire process. From shaping to adding color to forming the float and finally blowing it up to size. Jeff provided guidance and instruction the entire time allowing us to complete our own masterpiece. If you want to stand beside an employee while they create your piece and allow you to blow at the very end, then you'll be satisfied with the shop up the road. BUT if you want to work hands on with shop owner and artist Jeff by your side, then The Hot Shop is hands down the place for an amazing experience!!!

    Jeff was so amazing and helpful, and his family was just the sweetest! We did three classes and due to coast highway construction (go figure eh?) we were fifteen minutes late. With a quick phone call he was completely understanding about it and he had left plenty of time after our appt until his next one so we still got to do all three of our pieces. He was very knowledgeable and his teaching techniques were very easy to follow and understand. He helped us newbies make some very beautiful glass pieces to take home with fond memories attached to them.

    Great time again at the Hot shop. Jeff is very patient, safe and my girls have learned a lot about this fine art... I hope you stop in and take this informative class and/or visit the studio....

    Incredible experience learning how to blow glass. My husband and I truly enjoyed each and every minute of it. The owner of the store is patient, gives great instruction, and the one on one class was a great value for the time spent and product you make. I would highly recommend visiting his shop to purchase any of his work, but for the best part, spend the time and money and have a one of a kind experience.

    We were able to do these projects WITH help from Jeff.  Fun!  Beautiful!

    Amazing and fun experience from beginning to end! My sister and her husband were in town visiting, so we wanted something to do that would help them remember their Oregon trip. I looked up several glass blowing options, but The Hot Shop was the only one that I could find that something besides a paperweight or float could be made. Our projects included two lovely vases, a beautiful pumpkin, and a wavy candy bowl. Jeff, the owner and instructor was an expert at his craft, and a fun and patient teacher. The reason we could be successful with these projects was that he helped out with the difficult or dangerous parts of the process, which was great by us! I would HIGHLY recommend the Hot Shop experience.

    The best hot shop experience, Jeff was so kind and personable. He involved us enough so that I felt it really was my piece. The glass holds 16 oz of water, it is so beautiful.

    Jeff made a memorial glass vase of cranberry red and gold. Perfectly captured my mom's spirit.

    We had a great time and our teacher (Jeff) was really cool and allowed us to do pretty much the entire thing!

I will be loyal to them in the future whenever I need Glass because they have been so good to me. Both of the people in my town did not return calls. I will be using them for two medium size pieces of glass in the living room that are getting fogged up. There's also a piece of glass in each bedroom doing the same and I'm sure over the long period I'll live here. There will be others so I will definitely be back and use them. When a company is willing to come out to you and not complain about anything or charge you for a visit you better grab them. Also, they've been in business since the 1950s which says a whole lot.

I decided to go with Allways Glass because they said they could install in two weeks. Long story short, it was almost two months before installation day and then they showed up with the wrong windows. I paid extra for bronze colored frames and they installed black framed windows and told me that they "would turn to bronze". Well . . . it's been over a year and they still look black. To top it off I had two sliders put in and one was installed upside down because. The rollers for the sliding screen are actually on the top! There was no apology or adjustment to price, just a LOT of excuses and some out-right lies. I would never consider working with them again.
