    ok-i have to come out and say right off the bat that i am not an artist, nor do i work with…read moreglass--although i did work at a company that did a lot of glass walls--think 1/2 inch glass--but this is a lot different. my girlfriend is the artist and works with glass and she and i had a discussion about coming here. i am totally enamored with the tour, the production and the information presented. what really blew my mind away is the trememdous customer service attitude that i witnesses today. she needs something specific, and the great care that was shown her in finding particular colors of glass really impressed me. too often it seems that in a lot of places the care of the customer is overlooked. not here--by a long shot. and you gotta take the tour even if you are not looking to buy or work with glass. it is fantastic to watch and i suppose in the oven room on a very cold winter day would be a great place to be but even so today was delightful even with the heat outside. thanks again for the time and care that everyone showed us today in trying to find something special. and yes, the drive was worth it.

    Kokomo Opalescent Glass is America's oldest glass manufacturing company. They began manufacturing…read morecolorful sheet glass in 1888 and, today, produce 75% of the world's stained glass. I took a tour of their factory today. Tours are available weekdays by calling their office. The 45 minute tour costs $6 for adults and $3 for students. The tour starts and ends in their small gift shop. We visited and saw demonstrations of molten glass moving from furnaces to make sheet glass. We learned about how they mix colors and recycle waste glass. We visited their warehouse and learned about the different qualities of glass and how the glass is shipped. Finally, we saw artisans making decor pieces from the glass. Our tour guide was friendly and interesting. I had trouble hearing her in the furnace room, but still was able to follow. Closed shoes must be worn (no sandals). They provide safety glasses. We found ample parking in their lot. Restrooms are available on site. The buildings are ancient and interesting. The furnace building holds a beehive furnace that was interesting, but is no longer operational. Worth a visit to this Indiana treasure.

    Last cut glass shop of its type! Small building full of history and artisanship with wonderfully…read morefriendly staff and owners. My wife and I have been by here countless times and the other day noticed the lights on. We're glad we took the time to stop to check it out. The glass showroom is worth walking through just to see the cut glass. Pricing of the pieces seems fair considering the skilled hand work put into each one. They have a repertoire of patterns such as ivy, leaves, grains, and animals (check out the birds!) on a variety of glass items and will work with you on custom ideas for gifts, awards, and mementos for special occasions. Stick around for a demonstration! It's fun for everyone and the owner seems quite happy to answer questions. For fans of the industrial revolution, historical manufacturing, and engineering geeks like me, the overhead pulley drive system for the equipment is especially fascinating. Well worth your time to support local business, find a unique gift, and learn something all in one stop

    The owners and their employees are so very helpful and kind. The work that the artist create is…read morebeautiful. And there are at least 20 different designs you may have added to a special order. We ordered 2 double walled coffee mugs with the hummingbird design. She fell in love with them. And smiles every time she has a cup of coffee. The work of the artists is outstanding. It was fun chatting with the employees. If you call ahead of time you may be able to schedule an appointment to actually watch them work You really need to visit them.
