Philabaum Glass Gallery

I recently attended an opening reception for a new show here. The new show and the regular exhibits were both worth checking out. The artists were there mingling with the crowd. The space is not large, but it was big enough to handle the small crowd that turned out for this event. There was wine, sparkling water, and a bowl of chocolate kisses, but that was it when it came to food and drink.If I had both more money and more space, I would definitely go on a shopping spree here.

We took our 9 year old child here to see the only all glass art gallery in Arizona after watching the show, Blow Away. We felt extremely welcome during our entire visit. The owner, Alison, is genuinely kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I appreciated that there is something for almost all budgets. We will definitely be back for some Chritmas shopping!

Alison made this place into a absolute gem. She was quite knowledgeable about the craft and really added to the "boundless" aspect of it when she gave us a tour of some of the most amazing blow glasses you'll see. Definitely a must stop. :)

Enjoyed this museum and the unique glass art being shown. The owner Allison made my visit even better! She offered great info about the artists in the exhibits and the history of the museum. If you like museums add this to your list to visit!!

Wow! This place is amazing! You can sit and watch them making glass items right in the work area. It's very warm while you're sitting there but it is fascinating to sit and watch these highly skilled people create such a beautiful art. We must've sat there for at least 45 minutes watching them create a glass vase. The owners of the studios are pretty friendly and welcoming they seem to enjoy having people watch, although some of them are just doing their work and don't even pay any attention that you're there, which is fine. They are focused and there's a lot of things to be aware of while they are working.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit the prices are pretty high but the items are beautiful.

What a cool, unique little gem. Apparently they've been here for a long time. The pieces on display are mesmerizing!! You really have to check out all the little details to really appreciate the piece. They're still blowing glass at this location for a little longer so give them a call for available times. I highly recommend checking about a demo so you can see all that goes into a piece. A lot of the pieces are tempting to touch but in most cases you'll want to refrain from doing so.If you're interested in taking classes, the owners co-founded the Sonoran Glass School. I definitely plan on checking that out!

A husband and wife team runs the show. In the front you'll find a boutique filled with blown glass creations at prices ranging from the affordable (under $100) to the fabulous ($3k+). Much of their inventory is sourced from their on-site studio.Gain access to the studio and you can bask in an orange glow emanating from their 3k degree furnace, which holds molten glass waiting to be spun and blown into wild creations. I was fortunate enough to take a fantastic 3 hour class introductory class here. They put me to work spinning paperweights, blowing Christmas ornaments, and having myself a grand old time.If you're a fan of artisanal glass check out their shop and if you've got the urge to spin, cut, and twist the stuff sign up for one of their classes!

Hand blown glass in fascinating shapes and riveting color, what more can you want, except to buy it all. I have to admit I am always a little jealous that I cannot make such outstanding work. Toms work is amazing as well as all of the artist that show at the gallery are exceptional as well. I went on Saturday to see my Friend Michael Joplin's show and it was inspiring, hand blown plates etched with such precision, that the figures almost leap off of the glass. Take sometime and go see some great art, and bring some money because your gonna want to take something home.

If you are looking for a special hand crafted work of art by local artists, they have incredibly beautiful pieces at a variety of price ranges for all! There are also pieces available from out of town artists and collaborative works! It is a showroom of enchanting wonders!

Beautiful glass works on display! It is interesting to watch them actually blowing the glass. One of the workers brought the glass he was working on over to me and explained what he was doing - very cool. They even have chairs to sit in so you can watch them for however long you would like! (it is hot in that room as you would expect so if you plan on watching for awhile, don't wear a sweater)
