What a blast! Went…read morewith my boyfriend and mother for an introductory class. BYOB glass making fun! Yes, that's right... I enjoyed my Cabernet and made glass art! The co-owners were both actively involved in the class, and on our first visit they guided and assisted me to make a beautiful and artistic tea light candle dish that I get to take home! It will be a keep sake forever in my guest bathroom. I was actively involved in blowing and creating the glass & got to choose a variety of colors of my choosing for my art piece. The artwork in the holding areas from other students is intriguing and inspiring. Beautiful glass art pieces made in-house! I'm definitely going to sign up for future classes. The class was fun and upbeat! These cool, tatted-up, artistic loving, local small business owners resemble the entire reason I live in Austin! They truly recognize the love for art & fun. How cool is that?!

Shara and Leigh are ahhhhmazing!!!! Very knowledgeable about their craft and are super friendly…read moreand funny! I booked a private class for 7 of us for my boyfriend's surprise party this past weekend in Austin. The ladies were very helpful and made our party a huge success! Everyone loved the brief intro to glass blowing... we were introduced to the equipment and tools that we would get hands-on experience with! It was really cool! Blown glass is beautiful and mysterious! This is a must come try for yourself!!! The studio is located in a pretty hipster part of town . . . there is a great brewery next door! You are going to have a great time. ** It gets reallllly hot in the studio, wear layers you can take off!

Signed up for the beginner's glass blowing workshop class (5 students and a teacher). Four of us…read moremade flower paperweights where we picked our rock colors, dipped the molten glass into the mix, set it into the kiln, rolled and shaped it on the bench, and gently knocked it off the rod. One person made an orb that the instructor, Agnes, demonstrated the glass blowing technique. The whole process from start to finish was amazing, a little nerve-wracking at times (working in a hot environment with spontaneous glass) but overall a fun thrilling experience! Agnes is extremely knowledgeable. She shared with us her studies in Italy and how she has dominated in a predominately male field. She runs her own business and sets her own hours, so at times she may not be quick to respond but was a great communicator in class and afterward when we scheduled pick-up of our finished pieces.

If you're looking for a cookie cutter Paint'n'Sip experience with laminated instructions, a…read morecorporate manual, and the only risk is some paint on your chinos, this isn't it. Agnes's glass studio is the opposite of franchised fluff. It's a living, breathing space of craft, care, and quiet mastery. Blowing glass is hard work with way more risk since you are working with molten glass. Agnes isn't following a manual. She has decades of experience. She knows what needs to be done, what you need to, what is safe, and what is above your skill level (that means some tasks are going to be done by Agnes). She has a deep respect for the medium and during your session, you will attempt to do the same. Yes, there are some old Groupon era reviews floating around, but let's be honest: those deals were coercive traps set by intermediaries who didn't care about the sustainability of small studios. Studios were pressured to offer steep discounts that brought in volume. That's not a reflection of her work, it's a reflection of a broken model. What you'll find now is something far more rare: a studio that trusts you to learn, to make mistakes, and to create something real. Agnes doesn't coddle, but she does empower. She's generous with her knowledge, firm when needed, and quietly celebratory when you get it right. What you will likely learn: gathering, marvering, color application, jacking, inflation, shaping, rolling, paddles, expanding, transfer to punty, and annealing. If you don't know any of these terms, you would do yourself a favor by catching a 10-15 minute video on YouTube before heading to class. If you already know all of this, Agnes may be able to create a higher level course around incalmo, battuto, or flameworking.
