Such a wonderful experience! We did the glass fusing and there are tons of options to pick from. you can go without any idea what you are going to make and it adds to the experience, especially if it's a date!

Love the full experience at this wonderful establishment. Everything in the building makes me feel creative and adventurous! The pieces offered for a private lesson are fun and not too challenging. At each time I go I have a unique experience. I will be taking my niece this year to make the snowman and we are both elated. Looking forward to a new annual tradition with one of my favorite people.

Every time I visit my grand daughter in Louisville we make it a point to make something with Mark Payton! He is not only a talented artist he is also a kind and patient teacher.

Oh boy!! You MUST do the "flame your own" activity. Getting an opportunity to work hands-on with a pro on a glass sculpture is so cool. They were able to squeeze us in on short notice. We each signed-up for two pieces each (a snowman and a ring holder/a kiss)

We wanted to do something new and fun for a family activity. Mark Payton Glass Center exceeded all expectations! We were a group of 6 and Mark was exceedingly patient. We not only have awesome pieces to keep, but even better we have fantastic memories! Highly recommend!

I've been going to Louisville since I was a little kid and this was by far one of the best experiences I've had in the city! I couldn't believe the things we were able to make with Mark's assistance! He's talented, passionate and a great teacher. I can't wait to go back and make something else with him!

Took grandson for a little adventure before he headed off to college. He enjoyed this very much. We will have a great memory and he will have a very cute penguin. Mark was very patient and knowledgeable. Thank you!

We had a great time on the tour. In the gift shop they sell glass slugs (they are way too cute). The glass blowing demonstration of making the snowmen was informative and entertaining. We made sun catchers, they turned out really cool.

Mark has an incredible talent for creating art with glass, and it was a lot of fun to create my own piece with his help. He gives helpful guidance and is very friendly, but you really do get the feel of what it's like to create with glass. Absolutely LOVED it!!
