A great glassblower and glassblowing shop, right in the middle of downtown. All kinds of functional…read moreglass art. Sconces, vases, bowls, orbs, spheres and many other one of a kind works in glass. The shop is run by a husband and wife team, Willo and Ember who are both working glass blowers. Live demonstrations and works being created are always going on during their normal business day. A great shop with great people running it and definitely worth a visit and stop by to say hello and add a new piece of glass art to your collection. There are a nice assortment of other local artisan glass pieces as well. I acquired a new one of a kind glass piece from Willo and he signed it for me on the spot. Definitely recommended. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the great atmosphere and the folks who run this cool shop. 00629

However, the end product looked nothing like the ref. pic provided. When I contacted them to notify them I was dissatisfied with the the final result and requested a refund I was charged a 25% restocking fee for something that was never in stock to begin...how does that make sense? I would say save your money and take it to a studio where they have a more realistic view of their talents and/or a more honest business practice. Pic included for your viewing pleasure!

Selection is beautiful, every single thing is intriguing. Price is a little up, makes sense for the sourcing and good quality. I wish I could browse more, and buy more! but my anxiety gets to a boiling point once I'm being eyed down and judged, especially while trying to be kind towards someone and spend my money/support their business. I would say, if you're comfortable with uncomfortable energy, go ahead and spend a good chunk of money. Id rather recommend just finding the stuff somewhere else.

We ended up walking and touring the botanical gardens instead. This is a perfect place to sit down for lunch of read a book. Taking a moment to yourself in a peaceful and quiet setting. The botanical gardens is a short yet well maintained path. The decomposed granite path curves through beautiful blooming native plants. Native plants full of blossoms and happy bees working hard to pollinate. The paths are short and small but loop around a little pond. It's very nice. If you have the time, stop by and appreciate this botanical garden.
