Gary and Mary both made my experience glass blowing very engaging and fun. I enjoyed all of the detailed explanations that Gary gave. I felt safe the entire time while he explained what he was going to do and then what I was going to do next. I would highly recommend it.

My wife and I took a glassblowing class and had so much fun! Kelsey was so kind. She answered all of our questions and made sure we were safe throughout the class. Their shop has a lot of cool art and various pieces for sale as well.
