Glassworks Studio

Almost everything was made by a teacher and the quality of the product was really low. We got an unstable vase, that bounced on the table (the base of the vase was made completely by the teacher).
My mom also tried to make a leaf, but it was broken later when we left. A person who called me to tell about that was rude. When I came there to pick up my vase she lied to me about a voice message which I have never gotten.
Three of us got really bad experience there and we will never get back or recommend it to anyone.

I am such an arts and crafts kind of person and loved this experience. Me and three of my friends went on Wednesday when they offer an adults night only and you can BYOB so it was so much fun.
You pick a piece of glass in a certain size and shape (this is what you are paying for) and then you add all these other glass pieces on top to make whatever it is you want. Prices are very reasonable considering all the different glass pieces and shapes and tools you’re allowed to use.
The staff was also very very friendly and super helpful for me and my party the entire night.
I’ll get my piece back in one week when it’s all melted but make sure to look out for the elephant piece I’ll be uploading the picture when I get it back next week :) definitely a fun night out if looking to try something different

We were here a few weeks ago, our first time being creative with glass and a little hesitant and scared we walked down the steps, Wednesday is walk-​in adult day and if they just allow ordinary people like us to walk in and start it can’t be that bad, right?
We saw a cozy but well lit area in the basement with lower and higher tables and about 25 people building stacking glass pieces onto another glass slate. Many of the people had a drink next to them, oh next time: BYOB. And the room had many fun glass made decorat
We were welcomed with a smile and a young lady our age greeted and welcomed us and asked us whether we had been here before. Answering negative to that didn’t change her face a single bit to worry, on the contrary she became enthusiastic and explained how it all works. Examples of other people’s work, the discount we would get that day and that in 2 – 3 hours we could make a masterpiece. And if still not comfortable they even have kits one can use.
Comfortable with our decision to walk in we decided not to run away but now make that difficult decision on what to attempt to make with the glass. After we decided the employee showed us to a table and explained how to safely work, how to cut and glue the glass and how to build our own masterpiece. Very patiently and with a smile answering our questions.
While building our own art, using paper examples as well as items on display we picked colors, used pieces of left over glass, new squares of glass, little glass straws, beads and so more and build our own dish set. After 2 hours we were finished and they were about to close as it was 10pm but still all the staff was patient and not rushing us. We paid for our glued glass collection that would go through 2 melting procedures before we could pick it up a week later.
A week later the same smiles, friendliness and atmosphere as when we were there. A nice group of customers working like we did last week and our own glasswork was even prettier than we had hoped for. A fabulous experience and our own art work richer, we will return and will next time bring a dark and family/​friends!

Love this place! My friends and I have been many times for the adult night and it’s always a blast! Staff is friendly and helpful… Always willing to assist in your design if you need it. Although we don’t go regularly, one staff member in particular (I believe her name is Jen…) ALWAYS remembers us and welcomes us back. We will be going here for many years to come!

Located below a bank a few blocks from the green, Glassworks is a pretty cool random place for a kid’s event or a date.
I can’t speak to the kids events as I’ve seen it happen once; seems pretty well run in a private room though. For me it’s been a good date spot; a little bit on the expensive side, but fun.
If you are considering going here, I do recommend having a modicum of artistic talent — what you’ll be doing is cutting and overlaying pieces of glass to make a design of some sort, so if you can’t figure out how to get to that it can be very frustrating (seen it happen). If you want a recommendation, don’t go for a symmetric design/​pattern, aim for an abstract/​cubist design or a picture/​representation (a beach scene, a still life, etc). And unless you walk in knowing exactly what you want to do, don’t go for the higher-​end glass package — you’ll be able to do what you need probably with the smaller pieces.
Can be fun if you like arts and crafts — they do have a later night on Thursday which is generally just adults, can BYOB as well.
