Such a cool experience! The instructors were so helpful, making sure each step was safely done. My first time trying glass blowing and I already signed up to do it again!

Our instructors Dan and Jen were very friendly and knowledgeable! We did the 3 hours beginner class and made three cool pieces that I’ll treasure forever! Glass blowing is truly one of the most fun and satisfying art form :)

I’ve taken a couple workshops here now and I will keep coming back! The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and creates such a welcoming space for everyone to learn. I’ve always loved glass but I’ve grown such a deeper appreciation and connection to glass since coming here. Highly recommend!
