    Getting ready for a stem on the pumpkin

    Had so much fun blowing our own pumpkins! Highly recommend this activity and shopping at the studio. I'll be back the next time I'm in town. Thanks so much for an amazing visit!

    Cool to watch. I came with family members that blew glass 2 days ago. They came to pick it up. Upon arriving, I noticed a cute garden outside. The lights weren't on inside and it was hot and humid. Huge bathroom and there's a cat! I was getting gifts for friends and thought the sign said 2 for $10, so rather than getting a $10 cup, marble, or paper weight, i got 2 pieces of jewelry. When it was rang up, it was $21 for 2. Why tho? Maybe turning on the light and having stuff clearly labeled would avoid awkwardness. Stuff inside is pretty, especially the pumpkins. The details on those were so intricate. I wanted one, but not for $25. It's not particularly useful. Nice to look at though.

    Some gifts we purchased!

    If I could give this establishment 10 stars I would. I am absolutely blown away by the kindness and knowledge of glass they shared with us during our visit. Hands-On is a family owned business we had the pleasure of meeting Rodi, her husband and their son. Super friendly!! While there I made a pumpkin and my husband made an ornament. We got to try out a new color called Frost and had the chance to make an extra ornament. A mishap happened with one of our ornaments during the cooling off period, it developed a crack. Without any questions asked they offered us to make another ornament. Which we felt truly grateful for. We love how they came out. They are beautiful!! Will definitely visit again!

    Highly recommend and was one of the best things that my wife and I did on our anniversary week. The people were over the top helpful. The people were very laid back but knew how to provide amazing customer service. Walked away with amazing memories, a pumpkin, and a Christmas ornament.

    2 paperweights and 2 pumpkins that we made in a hands on class with Rodi. She shipped them and here they are safe and sound upon arrival.

    You MUST go to this amazing studio! We traveled to Corning from Georgia and after speaking with the locals, we learned about this amazing place. Several people insisted that we must take a class with Rodi. We drove to the studio, which was just on the other side of the bridge from downtown Corning, and met Rodi. She was incredibly kind and chatted with us for a long time about glass, her work over the years, and she entertained my partner's questions (my partner is a lampworker and makes glass beads). While it is clear that she is highly skilled, talented and knowledgeable, she was also incredibly humble and kind. We came back the next day for a hands on glass experience like no other! The price to make our own pieces, no matter which one(s) you choose, was very affordable especially when compared to the museum. My partner and I both made paperweights with Rodi and her assistant. They thoroughly explained the process in advance and then we created the paperweights with their help. Despite the fact that the glass is very hot, I felt very safe and comfortable with Rodi and her assistant by my side. We then made blown glass pumpkins and that process was much faster due to the nature of blowing glass but Rodi was just as informative and we actually got to blow the glass as opposed to just using a silly little pedal like the museum has. We had to have Rodi mail the pieces to us because we were leaving Corning that day but the shipping charge was beyond fair and she packed everything perfectly. All of the pieces arrived in perfect condition and they were even more beautiful than I had expected. As an added bonus, they etched my name and date onto the bottom of the paperweight at no extra charge (this is optional but now I will always remember when I went). I still can not believe that they are items I created with the help of Rodi! We did give her and her assistant a tip for their time and attention. We loved it so much, I wish we had more to give them! Additionally, Rodi has lots of cool glass pieces for purchase in her shop at incredibly low prices, locally made and not imported. She has sun catchers, pen holders with pens, paperweights, mushrooms, cups, glasses, vases, etc. I guarantee you can find a beautiful piece for yourself or as a gift. I purchased 2 vases for my home and sun catchers as gifts and they were a hit! All this to say, one day, we will return to Corning and instead of this being the place we go to on our last day, it will be the first place we go. Do yourself a favor and call Rodi in advance to schedule your unique hands on glass experience. You will not regret it!

    Our family had an amazing experience doing a few glass blowing projects: ornaments, pumpkin, and a paperweight.
