First, two warnings, and yes I did give it five stars: while clearly stated on the website, the…read morestore is in the basement so you have to walk down a flight of stairs and there's no elevator and I'd be careful about bringing younger children here simply because you are using with cut glass. Now that that's out of the way, you'll use precut glass from a huge selection of colors, sizes and textures on a glass bases to make designs that are fused in a kiln. The many options for bases include an ashtray, menorah, picture frame, plates or larger tray. Other more advanced options include weaving colors together and wind charms. Each station has a glass cutter and pliers so you can shape the precut glass. Either goggles or just wearing you're glasses is required. Just like there's a saying about ice skating that no matter what, ice is slippery, glass is sharp and can cut although I saw no wounds in my class. Using a bit of glue, you anchor down your design in the base. Then it is fused in a kiln. In addition to just creating your design, realistic or abstract, you can use templates that are provided. The very friendly and knowledgeable instructors give an overview of the process as well as help out people along the way. It's fun, creative and fairly priced. Truly a good experience.

I am absolutely obsessed with Glassworks. I was looking for a cute and cozy place to release some…read moreartistic energy and this was the perfect spot. They have a large variety of glass projects you can work on, ranging from inexpensive (nightlight, small picture frame) to expensive (large plates) items. I chose to make a nursery room nightlight for my first ever project. The staff were extremely helpful in showing the Glassworks ropes and helped me print and execute my design with helpful hints and tips. They also have a huge range or opaque and translucent glass colors to work with. I was so thrilled by my end result and love passing my nursery to look at it!

Hidden Playground Ready For Fun…read more We literally dead-ended into this place when driving back home from a Pediatrician's appointment for our little one. As soon as our little one saw it he had to have "10 minutes!" before we could be on our way. He liked it enough to ask for "10 more minutes!" before we could leave. Harrison Street Playground is a small neighborhood playground that surprisingly has 2 newer play structures designed for 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds respectively. There are also toddler swings, standard swings, and a see-saw. The wood chip ground cover should help keep your little ones safe from little falls. The patch of paved area next to the playground looks great for skating or riding in a safe gated area tucked away from traffic. 2 hour street parking from 8AM-4PM Monday - Friday on Harrison Street. No drinking fountains or restrooms here so plan your intake and elimination needs accordingly. A dedicated parking lot would push the rating to a 3-4 star level. Drinking fountains and restrooms would bump it up to a 4-5 star range. But this is a small neighborhood playground and I'm just happy that we stumbled onto it.

I have to recommend Fantasy Puppet Theater. In May, I won a puppetry party while at a Ridgewood…read moreschool tricky tray. My son's birthday is in December and we are always afraid the threat of snow will keep many people away, so I decided to have a non-birthday party for all of my son's friends and my friend's with kids. We had 70 people attend a party today with several great puppet shows, all performed by Marshall Katzman and "Fantasy Puppet Theater." My phone has not stop ringing, everyone is calling to tell me how much they and their children enjoyed today's event. I highly recommend both the recycling themed show and the Frog Prince. The kids loved them. He made it extra special for my son by getting all the kids to sing, "Happy Unbirthday to you!" If you are trying to think of something different for a party, try them.
