It was a perfect first exposure to glass blowing, and we'd love to return! We chose the ornament-making, as it's a simple, easier process for first-timers. They turned out gorgeous! The class was about an hour, and we felt the cost of the lesson and ornament were a good value! I highly recommended this experience at Gather Glass. *The glass item you make is outrageously hot, and needs to cool significantly.

The store is fun to visit, with lots of interesting artwork, jewelry, and house-related stuff. Every time I go there, I feel welcomed by the staff. Make sure you check out all the amazing artwork in the gardens! Also, we tried out a couple of the DIY glass projects--little take-home kits with supplies and instructions for making your own glass pieces. It's an awesome (and super affordable) rainy-day activity that takes maybe a few hours. If you're looking for unusual gifts and an art-museum kind of experience, this place is well worth a visit.
