Beautiful building inside & out! Unfortunately, the glass blowers were out to lunch, so we didn't get to see them blowing the glass. Found a reduced section of ornaments, bought a beautiful multicolored with swirls bauble. Half price! It was packaged very carefully in tissue paper into a simple box with a matching bag. Even though it was a clearance item, the ornament was lovingly packaged like a thousand dollar item. Thank you!

There were 4 of us and we all did the glass blowing. The glass artist, Jason, is not only very talented and patient but very willing to share information and answer 1,000 miscellaneous questions. They have a great shop with a lot of beautiful glassware. The shop artists are so nice and nicely packed all our purchases. Well worth a visit. Plan to be there at least 2 hours.

Terrible customer service! My husband & I were really excited to go, however were very disappointed. We were in the shop for a good 20 minutes & not one of the three women working spoke to us (& we were the only ones in there). We walked back to see the glass blowing, which was neat to watch, & neither one of the glass blowers acknowledged us or the group of small kids that were in there observing too. We asked one of the three ladies that had been up front & was now in the back about the blowing your own ornament experience. She was very dismissive & borderline rude. For you guys to charge $55 to blow ONE ornament, you'd think you would be kind to the patrons. We wouldn't ever go back or recommend this place!

Was able to customize & blow our own glass! Price was very comparable to buying pre-made. The artist is wonderful and patient and explains each step of the process. Would absolutely do this again!

Very enjoyable to be in the studio, and watch the glass blowing live! Also they have a lot of impressive pieces for sale in the gallery.

We were fortunate to stop in while the glass blowers were at work. Beautiful store. Worth a stop especially if you’re into glass blowing art work.

We had so much fun, the artists are very informative, but they are doing a job (so hot glass comes first, as it should). We had 3 people in are party helped make glass pumpkins. We spent about 1 hour and 20 ish minutes here.

Highly recommend!! Where can you go to see actual glassblowing taking place before your eyes? This place. That alone makes this shop unique and enjoyable, but the art they have for sale is basically a museum of glass that you can buy and take home. Glow-in-the-dark items are really cool also. This alone would be a reason to visit Staunton, but there are many more besides.

It's totally worth the trip! One has to remember you're paying for the artists' talent and time, not just a product. You're paying their bills, so understand that when you see the prices.We are fans of the glow in the dark products mostly and have bought several pieces over the years. I totally intend to go buy some more as they come available. We were able to put our contact information on a list with the specific item we are seeking. Now, it's in the artists' hands as to when we can grow our collection.We once watched the artist in the studio and found it to be intriguing. The only tip on that is to be patient and understand its layers of steps upon layers of steps . Also, don't forget you're in a studio for molten glass and it's gonna be HOT in there. If the heat bothers you, do not go on a hot day because it's only hotter inside the studio.I love the investment of a tangible product that I know is absolutely unique and will be around for the rest of my life, providing I'm careful with itOverall, do I recommend it? YESWill I return? Absolutely yesWould I want to buy a product? YesWill I take others too? Already planning to go with my family.

My partner and I stopped in to check the studio out we had a lovely conversation with the staff who walked us through some of the glass art on display and the history of the studio. My partner and I decided to do the couples glass blowing experience for $60. We worked with the artist Daniel Scogna to create a pumpkin ornament together. It was an absolutely amazing experience! Daniel walked us through the whole process of making blown glass from start to finish. It was so much fun working with him to design our pumpkin and pick out the different colors and patterns. I would absolutely do this again if I am ever in the area and the studio had availability, highly recommend!

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Upon entering the shop, we were greeted unlike any other store. The lady described the shop told us she could continue or let’s us walk around the shop. We decided to have her show us around. After doing that we inquired about the blowing glass opportunities and asked if they still offered this. To our surprise they not only did but had openings coming up. We decided to participate in the process to make glass pumpkins. Watching the glass being blown was one thing but participating init was something else. We just received the pumpkins and they look great. We can’t wait to visit this shop again. This is a keeper!!!!

The staff there were really nice and answered any questions we had. The glassware was really pretty and there were tons of it. They also had someone in the room in the back making a glass fish and he was really interactive with the people there. He answered every question people had and showed/said what he was doing with every step in great detail as well. They offer glassblowing that you can sign up for as well
