The facility was great, and there's a lovely showroom full of a beautiful variety of handmade glass items for purchase. After being briefed on basic studio safety, Dom guided each one of us through the basic exercise of gathering our own glass from the furnace, applying color, shaping and blowing our own ornament. She stood next to each one of us, expertly directing the movement of the blowpipe, the use of the tools, and of course, the blowing. If blowing glass is on your bucket list, I would highly reccommend Terrapin. Dom is a fantastic instructor, keeping her focus with each student as they maniipulate an over 2000 degree piece of glass on the end of a blowpipe. The studio assistants were wonderful too! A wonderful place for a fantastic experience!

Our 1 month old daughter passed away and we knew we wanted some memorial art made from her ashes…read more We found Terrapin on Google, and were happy that it was a local business. We got a little tour of the studio, they were professional, and courteous. They kept the idea of "preserving the chain of custody" very present, which was extremely important to us. We did not want to have to mail anything anywhere. The pieces we received were very nice, we got 3 suncatchers and 2 adder stone pendants. Very impressed with the quality, the glass is very dense and heavy it feels good. I'd recommend this business to anyone looking for custom glass art and a respectful, local business for memorial art services. We are VERY happy with what we got, but if I had to give any feedback to this business it would be: Picking up the finished products was a bit of a let down. We had to make an appointment and they left the glass outside in a lockbox. An old COVID era policy. It would have been nice to actually thank them for the work, as this was a very emotional, connected process for us. We had to make appointments to drop off, and pick up. And to be honest my wife didn't love the idea of "our daughter being left in a box outside". I'm really not trying to sound overly critical, I just want the business to know this is our feedback on the matter. Overall we TOTALLY RECOMMEND this business. The finished products are really nice, and the quality is really something that's offered us a lot in the way of being able to continue to love and hold our daughter. I'd give the products a 5/5 based on everything, but I'm gunna give them a 4/5 overall because of the dated policies.

Philip Greenwood goes over safety procedures and proper technique. He helps you every step of the way to assure you pull end up with a beautiful glass paperweight. You choose your colors, pick from a few designs and get busy. About 20 minutes later you're done. Then Peter takes the vet and properly cools the glass and polishes the base. Just understand you don't leave with the finished product. You need to come back the next day to pick up your masterpiece. I'm sure Peter will mail it to you if nece$$ary. Also note this is not a walk in experience. You need to call ahead and make a reservation. Peter has a couple of sweet dogs on the premises, so if you have a fear of dogs be forewarned. For about $48 you have a one of a kind experience and something you can be proud to display. Peter is kind. Patient. Friendly. And extremely gifted. If you can't tell, this is a highly recommended adventure!!

The building itself is very cool (historic church) and the upper level displays various beautiful artworks of glass, metal and wood. I opted to make a glass flower, while my Fiancé made a paperweight.

In all, I really enjoyed my experience here and would love to revisit to create another piece to add to my decor.

We did two classes so far, neither teacher was great. The glass blowing class was super hands-off. We only got to actually manipulate the glass 3 times for the cost we paid.

If I went back tomorrow, I probably will have forgotten anything I got from it last weekend.

Both the Center for Crafts and New Street GlassWorks are affiliated with Worcester State University. The New Street GlassWorks is equipped with a glass furnace that keeps 400 pounds of clear glass melted and ready for instant red-hot use. Three "glory holes" are cranked up as needed for glassblowers making use of the hot shop. There's also a cold shop, a mold shop, a flat shop, six rental studios and a flame working studio. The cost for our class was very reasonable (about 80$) and it was a fun way to spend a Friday night with friends. Our instructors were Caitlin , Emory and Ian. After a quick safety lesson, description of the tools and equipment, Caitlin got to work demonstrating what we would soon be doing ourselves. They regularly reminded us about safety because of how easy it is to get burned. If you are not careful with molten glass heated to about 2000 it isn't hard to see how you could get burned given how closely you are while were working with the materials. We had two options; we could make a colored beer stein with a handle or we could make a clear beer stein with a green shamrock. I decided on the clear beer stein since I didn't want a handle and I thought it would be cooler to have a clear glass to see my beer in. I went first and I was paired with Emory as my instructor and assistant. Emory had a great personality and immediately put me at ease. He made the process both fun and informative. I am absolutely going to take another class here and can't wait for my next experience.
