    Amazingly fun and easy enough for complete beginners like myself and my boyfriend!! Alex was great at what she did, explaining every step of the process and being both playful and also very safe and conscientious of what was around her. We had a small group of 4 people, which made for a really personal atmosphere, and in the end we made some really neat glass icicle ornaments!!

    This is a scam. I never write bad reviews, however this review results from poor organization from the staff. The experience was definitely fun, however three days later I went to pick up my pumpkins and Glass Axis lost them. Instead of admitting the flaw, the employee handed me a generic pumpkin that I did not make and stated it was mine. This is very disappointing, I would recommend going elsewhere. We even asked before hand if we needed to fill out an ID card to easily keep track of our glass blowing work. This was way over priced for not being able to keep our own work. The facility did not even provide a refund, very unfortunate.

    Just took glass ornament class tonight. It was incredibly fun & informative. Lisa was an excellent instructor and super encouraging to us first timers. Color choices were wonderful, the facility was great & the prices in their gift shop were super affordable. I'm getting my unique glass ornaments here from now on. I can't wait to take another class.

    Made glass eggs with an out of town visitor. Good experience... there was only one spot left when I booked it, but the teacher made time for both of us to make an egg. Also learned that you can book private classes. Wish I'd known... the eggs were cool, but I would've preferred to make a pair of tumblers. Next time!

    What a great experience! Glass Axis provided glass paperweight classes for kids on Fridays this fall and my son LOVED it. We will be back for more classes in the future.

    My daughter and I took a class last week and had lots of fun. Rose also showed us around and explained the community art projects that she and other artists are collaborating on with kids from local schools. Very cool. Thank you!

    This was my first time ever working with glass and I had a wonderful time! Our instructor, Paul, was phenomenal and really knowledgeable about the whole process. We were a smaller class so it was really personable and allowed everyone to take their time when completing their pieces. I look forward to trying out all the other classes they have to offer.

    What a great time. Paul was a great instructor and artist. Myself and my wife will be back for 100% sure. Worth every penny.

    Awesome experience. Ask for Madi, she's awesome!

  • 1/5 Robert P. 2 years ago on Google
    I paid $89 expecting a glass blowing class and it turned out to be an arts and crafts session a 3 year old would find boring, but with glass pieces. Don't waste your money here. The teacher was uninspiring and preoccupied with setting up for the next arts and crafts class.

    My husband an I had so much fun making blown tumblers yesterday with Alex. She's such a great instructor, giving clear concise instructions, while keeping it fun. We would love to do this again!

    My 11 year old daughter attended a torch working class. Sarah was patient, upbeat, and directions were clear. All around a really fun time! Can't wait to attend something myself!

    Tried to buy a used kiln from the guy. Was pretty short with me when trying to ask what the kiln would need to be fully operational. Oh well, I'll buy a kiln somewhere else.

    Went there for a glass blowing demo. It was neat seeing how hand-blown glass is done. There was quite a lot of neat glasswork in the gallery as well.

    I attended the Sculpted Glass Bird class and I loved it! The instructor Adam was great and really took his time showing us all the steps throughout the process. The environment itself was great and seeing other artists at work was such an experience. I'll be back!

    Awesome and delightful. Check their calendar for classes and events. There is also a shop for art glass besides the hot shop for glass art-production. πŸ‘ πŸ˜€
