It was interesting watching them work with the hot glass. I loved seeing this little glass wave. You can see it in my pictures. There was also this fantastic set of glass bottles and dishes with jellyfish. Really beautiful.

Amazing! Love! Very informative. My friend and I booked a fancy vase beginning glass lesson for…read moreboth of us weeks in advance over email. For context, we have no glass blowing or ceramics experience. What to know beforehand: -You need to wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toed shoes and masks! -Picking colors and designs in person may take a while (if you're very decisive you may not have this problem). There are tons of options for what you can make and with what colors so it took at least an hour for us to pick and choose. The final price of your piece can also vary depending how big you want it to be and what color(s) are involved. -It'll take a day for the piece to cool when you're done, so you'll have to pick it up another day. -Small parking lot on-site in the back along with street parking. The beginning glass lesson experience: -David was very good at teaching and support. I felt more like the designer of the piece than the glassblower/creator, but David really gives you every safe opportunity he can to give you hands on experience in the process and talks through every step. You're not just paying for a glass piece here - you're paying for David's 40+ years of experience blowing glass! Felt more like I was shadowing a glassblowing process. I learned a lot and had a great time. -Cynthia was also helpful in confirming the design during the process. I didn't know how to explain that I wanted more of a flare at the top of my design at one point but she caught that for correction. Some fun learnings: -If you want to seriously get into glassblowing, paperweights are the best shape to learn and practice. -The punt of the glass is super sensitive. We also learned a bit about identifying manufactured vs. handmade glass through it. -The Netflix show Blown Away is a fun show to watch if you want to see more glassblowing -Some glass colors are easier to work with than others, and if you're mixing colors in one piece, depending on the colors you're mixing, can make it harder or easier to shape because they affect how stiff the glass can be (lighter colors tend to be more stiff, darker colors tend to be more soft). My friend picked dark blue and green and hers came out great! Mine came out a little warped because I picked a longer piece with two very contrasting colors (dark blue and light pink), but David helped reshape it a little. Current pricing on their website: -Ornament $50 -Paperweight $65 -Sea float $70 -Heart $75 -Starfish $75 -Pumpkin $90 -Bird $90 -Drinking glass $95 -Transparent vase $140 -Fancy vase $175 -Beginning Glass Lesson (1-2 people only) $260/$325 depending on number of people plus tax.

Dave was very friendly and shared his wealth of knowledge with us. He explained instructions clearly and guided us through all the steps with ease.

The selection was very interesting. The glass is all locally produced right there in their own hot shop. There were some very creative pieces. The most creative pieces were the most expensive, however there were plenty of pieces that were not too expensive. Robin the owner was fabulous and explained how my art piece was made. Since the hot shop is adjacent to the gallery, you can watch the artists make the glass art. It is very interesting and there are some beautiful pieces.

I…read moreapologize - I can't recall the instructor's name, but man is he charismatic! :) Very friendly, funny and skilled! He kept us laughing through the entire class. I thought there would be multiple people in the class, but it ended up just being the two of us and the instructor. He got to create three glass pumpkins and they turned out amazing! Definitely worth trying if you are looking to try something new/fun. Gift shop has some cool stuff in it as well.

Staff were amazing and showed me where everything was and how to find any other information on books or the computer stations they had set up. They even have a fridge with complimentary soft drinks for customers. So many colors!! Frit and color bar everywhere! This is a glassblowing candy store! The scrap area is fun too...,random grab bags of unlabeled color. I bought some of those for fun along with some scrap dichroic glass which will be fun to experiment with. The tool selection is excellent as well, and it was nice to be able to see and hold tools before buying since tools are a fairly substantial investment. If you're using a ride share to get here, just a heads up that they'll probably drop you off and pick you up on the street above the parking lot, but just look down the driveway into the parking lot and you'll know you're in the right place. It was only 5 miles from my hotel, but a 25 minute ride with Seattle traffic at 11AM on a weekday...so plan your time accordingly if you're doing what I did and squeezing in a shopping trip between meetings.
