What People are Saying...

  • This had to be one of the neatest ( I’d say coolest, but it definitely was warm), experiences . I had no idea what was involved in glass blowing. But I know now! My pumpkin is fabulous! I can not wait to come back and try my hand at another project!

  • My favorite place to blow glass. The staff is fun, friendly and ready to help.
