The glassblowing classes here are genuinely special, drawing everyone from nervous first-timers to multi-generational groups celebrating special occasions. Instructors like Colin, John, and Max earn consistent praise for their patience and skill at making beginners feel comfortable around the intense heat and technical processes. They strike a perfect balance, letting you do as much as you're comfortable with while stepping in to ensure your final piece looks great. People love that it's truly hands-on but never feels unsafe or overwhelming. The 30-minute workshops give you a quick taste and a glass piece to take home, while the three-hour sessions let you work at your own pace and create multiple items. Whether you're making ornaments, pendants, or small vases, you'll pick up your creations the next day or arrange shipping (reviewers confirm items arrive perfectly packaged). The shop itself is worth browsing, filled with gorgeous glass art and jewelry that makes it hard to choose just one thing. This is clearly a well-run operation where the staff genuinely cares about giving you a memorable, creative experience.
My husband and took a glass glowing session here for our anniversary over the summer. My husband made an ornament and I made this little vase for the yard flowers my kids pick for me. We had a wonderful time. The staff were knowledgeable and kind. They taught us as much of the process we could safely do, but stepped in when they could sense our anxiety about certain steps, while ensuring we ended up with a product we loved. I highly recommend visiting and taking a class when visiting Asheville!
