Cant say nice enough things about my experience taking part in a workshop here. Excellent instructions, as much help as you need, but will let you do a lot of the work if youre comfortable with it. I will absolutely be going back!

We participated in the Birds glassblowing class at The Akron Glass Works and we had a blast. We got to work with Nate who was patient and informative, but certainly didnt hold our hands on the second bird. This was our first experience creating a glass sculpture and it was a great introduction to the process and skills it takes to really create something beautiful from glass. The class was small and we took turns as couples working with the instructor who first did a demo. They strongly assisted us with the first bird, but on the second bird we got to use the skills we learned on the first round to make something more unique to us. We will without a doubt be participating in another class very soon, hopefully making it back for each holiday oriented class.

We had an excellent time at our private pumpkin workshop. Christian and Jake did a fantastic job demonstrating and helping us. Christian was in charge of our group. He was very knowledgeable and conscientious and made all directions clear to us so that we would not get burned and be able to make our pumpkins successfully. We will definitely be coming back for the spring workshops.

I recommend this class to anyone slightly interested!! Our instructor, Sebastian, was thorough and experienced without being rote. The glass is so hot it is almost liquid, so there is no room for error. He made the experience fantastic! Dress accordingly for the heat...

My visit and glass blowing class at Akron Glass Works was a great experience. The instructors, Sebastian and Nate were were very friendly and informative. We learned the steps of working with glass and received one-on-one time with the instructors while making a figurine. Working with glass was very interesting and mesmerizing. If I lived closer I would take a couple of classes a year.
