Vetro Glassblowing Studio

This is a fun activity - definitely a "help create" where you do little work but do get close up and hands (safely) on. Your take home gift (available next day after the glass cools) is a fun reminder of the activity. I've recommended it for my family as an activation during our upcoming reunion.

Wow what a treat! My daughter in law treated me to a glass blowing experience. So informative and fun! Oh my gosh and so hot!The staff is amazing explaining exactly how the process works and allowing a hands on experience. I made a purple beer glass! No pics as it was left behind to rest

I'm honestly amazed at all the 5 star reviews, our experience unfortunately wasn't 5/5. When we arrived in the workshop room on time for our 12 o'clock class glassblowing appointment, there were people standing around and also sitting on bleachers, we weren't sure what the protocol was so proceeded to ask around and no one else knew much either. Then an associate responded to have us take a seat. We just sat there with welcome, intro, or instructions. For almost 30 minutes. I went up to one of the workers to ask again and that's when she said to wait till they call our name. In my opinion this was very poorly managed (total wait time 30 minutes). After the experience, (where you took part of about 5-8 minutes total of hands on experience and they did the rest), again, no instructions or anything, had to inquire on our own on when the project would be available for pick up.... No follow up email or "thank you for coming" or "here's what happens in the next few days/weeks" explanation. Felt very assembly like and was not worth the price in my opinion. The redeeming factor is that all the glasssmiths/instructors whom we encountered are very friendly :)

"I love the sound of breaking glass Deep into the nightI need the noises of destructionFlying all around"(David Bowie)One of our convention activities was a trip to downtown Grapevine to visit Vetro and give a try at our glass blowing skills.It's not glass blowing in the traditional way you make think of, but rather its a process where you start off with a solid hunk of glass, and then use tools to heat it, adding colors to the molten glass, and finally shape it.Depending on the season of your visit, you might be making a paperweight or stemless wine glass or Thanksgiving pumpkin or Holiday ornament.It was paperweight and heart season for us and our group had a terrific time with our creations.Pro Tip -If you place your paperweight into a carry on bag like we did, be prepared to have TSA open up your bag and see what exactly that heavy round glass object really is.

Such a cool spot. We have been in several times to watch the artists work and see the displays. We recently did a help create class and it was so fun. We did his and hers whiskey glasses and it was a fun way to spend time together. It would also be a great employee fun day. They did a great job explaining the process and teaching. Definitely recommend!

What a fun night taking a glass blowing class at Vetro! I was a little afraid at first I won't lie but the staff make sure you are successful making your piece. They have so many amazing pieces to choose from to purchase in the store so we grabbed a few unique items for gifts and some for ourselvesThey have featured classes monthly and we plan to take another one soon. It's only a little more to make the time yourself vs purchasing a ore made item but to mention the experience is cool!!After you make your piece you come back the next day to pick it up once it's cooled so I'll have to update this review with the pictures of our glasses when I pick them up!

Still waiting on a call back from a manager from last year. We did ornament last year we were in and out in 5 min. We said something to front desk girl and was told a manager would call us and still haven't heard anything

What a fun place for a date! Extremely friendly staff; very inviting! We came here for the Valentine's Day "flaming hot date night" and it was awesome! Drinks, dessert, and art! It was so much fun to learn about the art of glass blowing and also be able to make your own art. I can't wait to come back to pick up my custom piece and I'll definitely be back for more fun!

We ducked in here during a pouring rainstorm and we were quite pleasantly surprised at all the beautiful glass work in this gallery. There are some very impressive pieces here. There was a giant blue jellyfish-like installation that was pretty amazing and some of the ones meant to look like skulls and a horseshoe crab were pretty epic. We ended up buying a small jellyfish from the display window. The only ironic thing was the area where they were blowing glass was actually cold instead of warm. Still though if you've never seen people making things out of glass you should definitely check it out. Parking was a breeze and there are some other small galleries in the area.

This place is amazing! We did one of the paper weight classes and had a great evening. Our instructor, Nick was so knowledgeable and so patient with us. He helped us make some really cool paperweights and also gave us tons of information about glass blowing. All in all a super fun and enlightening experience. My only dilemma now is what to make the next time we book a class.
