My friend and I took a fun glass fusion class at Glass Workbench! We did have one hiccup when we…read morearrived - the shop was locked since the class took place after their regular business hours. We were eventually let into the store and directed to the shop basement where the class took place. Our class instructor was laid back but very knowledgeable throughout the process. He guided us on how to cut and arrange our glass pieces and had a few examples available for inspiration. I will say...the glass cutting was a little dangerous with tiny glass shards flying in all directions. I do wish I was instructed beforehand to bring protective eyewear just in case. My friend got a few cuts on her hands as well. The shop had a large variety of glass colors to choose from and it was very fun to get creative with our projects. We each made 3 glass suncatchers during our ~2-hour class. It was a real "trust the process" experience, as I was not sure how my pieces would turn out after arranging my glass. However, they turned out beautifully! We were instructed to wait one week to come pick up our pieces after they were fired at the shop. They kindly placed holes in our pieces to hang, but only provided string. I decided to reinforce my suncatchers with jump rings and chain. I love how they turned out!!

There's a sheet to help you know what you pair. I had so much fun visiting, grabbed a book, some incense and I'll definitely be back to pick up herbs for making tea at home.

Every museum has a gift shop - I think it's mandatory. The St Louis Art Museum was no different…read more In this case, however, the gift shop was in it's own space within the museum and you were not funneled into the museum shop at the end of your visit - it was much more a voluntary thing to visit it. That said, it was your typical museum gift shop with a lot of NICE things (translate that as EXPENSIVE things) like art books, reproduction art posters, etc.

If you plan to come on the weekend, I would recommend calling ahead since it can get busy and you might have to wait. On weekdays, it's much more relaxed and you can really take your time. It's a great place to come with kids or friends. This time I came with a friend and made a birthday plate for myself, and I absolutely love how it turned out! The pricing is reasonable, and overall it was such a fun and memorable experience. I will definitely be coming back!

Very nice store with down really lovely products. We didn't that stay longer or buy more than the 1…read moregift we quickly found because the person who was staffing the store did not wear a mask. Also, the gift we bought was wrapped up in the tissue and put in a brown bag with a logo,, which made a nice presentation. The only problem was the the person staffing the store, who was informed that the item was a gift, didn't remove the price tag or ask if we wanted it removed. When we got home we unwrapped the gift, removed the price tag, and rewrapped it. If those two things are fixed -- which are pretty basic and easy -- I would give this store 4 stars.
