Burnt Glassworks

Great idea for a quick date idea. My wife and I decided to make Christmas ornaments. They have a showcase full of color options and there is a selection of textures to pick from. Once you know what you are making, you go back to where the furnaces are. Their staff walks you through the whole process as you heat, blow, and cut your glass. I'm sad we have to come back to pick up the end results, but transporting glass that just came out of a 2000 degree furnace seems like a bad idea. I am looking forward to later this week when we can pick up our creations.

I really enjoyed my time here at Burnt Glassworks. I had called in earlier to inquire about all the different workshops and classes and for beginners, they had recommended either paperweights, stars, or flowers. I went ahead and chose the flower workshop. Scheduling was a breeze and when I showed up for my appointment, I got to choose from a variety of colors and patterns that would ultimately make up my piece. I was surprised how quick the workshop went-- I had so much fun that I didn't realize 25 minutes had gone by like that. The instructor was really clear with his instructions and it was an overall supportive, fun environment. I don't have a picture of the end product but I will post an update once I pick up the glasswork after it has had time to cool. I would go again maybe to make another flower (might want to make a bouquet as an ongoing project!) or try making a vase or cup. I went solo, but this can easily be a great activity to do with friends or couples.

Amazing time for our 25th Anniversary celebration! Thank you to everyone who participated!I highly recommend this place for everyone who is interested in a date day class, who loves the art of glass blowing . While we chose to go with a red and white heart , they offer many other options to choose from.Google them for all the classes and to reserve your spot!

This was an amazing activity. I requested this as my birthday gift from my family and enjoyed everything about it. There are several options for classes on their website. I picked the starfish It is in the last row of an wearhouse park took us a minute to find as we didn't see a sign near the street. Parking spots are not really marked; however, we didn't have any issues parking as we went on Saturday and none of the other businesses were open.After we checked in we got to choose our colors. There was a great selection of individual and pre-mixed colors. We were provided safety glasses and given a short safety chat. Colton was leading our session and he was great! He was very attentive and directed us every step of the way. He made sure we understood the steps, we were safe, and cautioned us as we sculpted our masterpieces.Once we were done forming and shaping our art they were place in a kiln to set. They were labeled so we could pick them up at a later date. I was able to pick up our starfish up the following day within the designated hours. They have a board listing the times for pickup.

It was our 25th Anniversary this weekend, so we did a little fun couple's activity: Glass sculpting with the great crew at @burntglassworks.Our project was a heart-shaped glass paperweight. Our instructor made things easy for us and we each took a turn at various steps. We also each picked a color and mixed them together so that there's a piece of both of us intertwined in one heart. It was such a fun activity and highly recommended it for a fun date night. Check out Burnt Glassworks' website to see what classes are available.

***This is for the King Maker Brewing location- Yelp merged it with the Philips Hwy location- yes, they do glass blowing at King Maker!!!I adore this company! And now they offer studio workshops at a local brewery!!! Yup- plan your next night out to King Maker and make yourself something really cool! They offer various workshops and they change with the seasons. Beer steins, whiskey glass, wine glasses, glass ball ornaments, starfish paperweight, glass snowmen and more! This was my first time at the mobile workshop and it looks like they plan to make this a secondary location!!! How wonderful. I absolutely LOVE when local brewers mix with local artists to offer classes and workshops! And King Maker has plenty of featured art throughout their taproom and building! Adam was our Master Glassworker tonight to guide us through making not one- but two items each!!! Vanessa T met me there and made a starfish and a bud vase and I made a glass ball and a whiskey glass. He indulged my wanting something different and we worked through the process together. Grinning ear to ear, both Vanessa and I enjoyed every minute! I had to chuckle when turning the glass in the furnace when Adam said to me how relaxed I was- that most people are nervous and freaking out. I have made numerous glass blowing items over the years at a few different places and hope to take the full blown course someday soon. I crave all things artistic and love working with tools. I can't wait to blow glass again! Thank you Adam for helping me create my pieces! You were very patient and your expertise is evident.

You can learn how to start making pieces with glass in the beginners class. You do the work with the instructors being patient and active listening to all your questions. Safety is very important and the furnace is hot. My first piece I really love it's imperfections. They offer workshop classes to make different pieces. If you want to be challenged this is the place to be.

My Mom fell in love with the orange pumpkins and wanted them as favors for her 85th birthday party. Jess was wonderful and made sure all 15 arrived in time for the party. My Mom loved them so much she kept giving them away before the party so we had to order 11 more! Those also arrived in perfect shape and in time for the party, and they threw in an extra. Thank you Burnt Glassworks. You made my Mom's birthday even more special.

A family member took us to Burnt over the holidays to try glass blowing. I wasn't overly excited about it, but it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I opted to make a beer mug and it came out really nice. Andy did a great job of explaining as we worked. It was a fun, educational, creative experience and I highly recommend giving it a try.

We had so much fun blowing glass, something I have always wanted to do! I love that it was a 1:1 hands on experience. The instructors were fantastic...super kind, patient and knowledgeable. I love that we got to choose the colors and product we made. I can't wait to go back!
