Super fun. If you ever wanted to try glass blowing, this place makes it easy for you. The instructors are both experienced and patient. They have a great safety briefing and youll make a keepsake which you can pick up 48 hours later. Prices are reasonable. Nice showroom with unique gifts. Kid friendly. Bring a date!

WOW!!! Decatur Glassblowing and Carolina (pronounced Caroline). My son and I were looking for something unique and fun to do today and stumbled upon this wonderful experience in lovely Decatur. We will never forget the time we had with instructor Carolina who helped us make dancing starfish, exotic flowers, and really cool paperweights all out of glass. It was like Vegas - 3 hours booked for 2 and it felt like 30 minutes. Many thanks Decatur Glassblowing and Carolina for an unforgettable time with my son.

Super spot for birthday celebration or special event. Had a blast with the family.

Awesome experience. Highly recommend for the beginner or those that have blown glass before. Abigail was a wonderful teacher. They will even ship your items for you. A+

We had an amazing time. We seen many glass blowing shops and shows. This was the first one that allowed us to work the glass. Lee did a great job explaining the rules for safety and answered all of our questions. I was even allowed to do all of the blowing myself.

We booked the 1hour class for 2 people, and we had a great time!! Caroline was exceptional!! Fun & patient!!! We will return and with friends! The best date night idea though!!

Had a lot of fun making an ornament. Friendly staff and they take their time explaining everything. Check out the gallery for some beautiful pieces too.

We had a great experience creating our own glass creations.

All of the people here are super nice, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. You get to decide how much hand holding you get in their workshops. Theyll make sure you dont mess things up badly (or help you restart if you do) while still letting you give your work unique quirks.My friends and I made pumpkins there recently and it was a blast. Making the pumpkin only took about 10 minutes and you were free to leave after making yours. Only two people can work with glass at a time and they tend to go in order of sign in. Theyre flexible though and will let you move in the list to watch/take pictures of your friend. They also give you some choices in making your pumpkin like base and stem colors, how large and fat to make it, and you can make the stem by yourself if you want. Im sure they offer similar choices for their other workshops.The people are also happy to answer any random questions you have about glassblowing like how certain techniques are done. They also offer private events if they arent busy with sign ups for their seasonal stuff.The only really negative thing here is the parking. Its terrible. I highly suggest carpooling if youre going with multiple people. They have a tiny lot that can hold about 3 cars and a handicap spot. You can also park on the little side street its on but its not long so it could easily run out at a popular time.That said it was a great experience and I really want to go back!

Wonderful, accessible, activity! I brought my best friend to the Flower Class on Saturday, and we both found it to be an enriching experience. Very hands on but comfortable, laid back time to enjoy watching an artist creating glass work in the space adjacent to the class area, as fellow students created their flowers with the help Abigail! (Featured in the green top)

Fun and amazing! Glass work has always fascinated me and the staff here is so good! A great place to lean something new.

Really cool place to get started with glass blowing, very safe instructors.

Had a great time making my ornament for the year. I would love to come back and make something else. Glassblowing is a really neat hobby to take up.

Loved my experience, glass blowing an ornament, here. Nick was a great teacher. He walked us through every step and explained the process and tools. He was patient and helpful. I definitely plan to visit again to participate in another class.

All the staff are so nice. The classes are great! So much fun and you make such cool stuff! The glass they have for sale is BEAUTIFUL as well. Great job all around. Weve done 2 private classes and will do more.

I have had two glass blowing experiences here and both were great! I would highly recommed instrector, Lee, as he was very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. This is a knock out date or gift idea. I will be coming back soon.

What a hidden gem! I heard about them through Facebook and cant believe weve had such a cool place right here in Decatur! This wasnt a pay to watch me type of class, the customers actually participate. The women who taught the class are experienced and relaxed, making the class fun and informative. Having an actual product to display in my home after the class was just the cherry on top. Now I have a functional and beautiful decoration that is also a keepsake from our time there. Will definitely be going back!

Went as a group with my colleagues from work and had a ball. Cant wait to go back and make more items.

This was a lot of fun, and a cool way to have a memento while spending time with family and friends. You do spend 1.5 hours there, and it really only takes 5 minutes to make an ornament because the instructor basically does everything that requires skill for you. Personally, I didnt mind because they had beer, and you spend the rest of the time chatting and cheering your friends on when its their turn.

Delightful experience learning about glassblowing here - several course formats are available for both individuals and small groups. Also have a comprehensive store with glass items for purchase. Highly recommended!

Great, patient teachers that demonstrate and then guide you through making your own items.

Definitely an experience everyone should have! A fun time, and I’m personally looking forward to my next lesson. I’m addicted!

Had so much fun at the pumpkin glassblowing class! Nate explained the process and steps well. I cannot wait to pick up my pumpkin!

Great place, great people, amazing artwork !

This was on my bucket list but I have to admit I was nervous and a bit intimidated. Nathan put those fears to rest immediately. He is the owner, as well as one of the guys who helps teach classes. He let us know that he was willing to help as much or as little as we needed.He began by demonstrating step by step what the procedure was. He then let us know if we wanted to skip our turn and come back that was fine as well. We skipped our turn and let two people go ahead of us so we could watch. Nathan is very patient with the class. He tells you what to do next after each step, instead of assuming you would remember. He explains that the color you chose wont be vibrant until it cools completely. All colors appear orange at first. Im posting the before and after pictures so you get an idea of what they looks like in both stages. I chose the blue and my girlfriend chose the multi color. They have to cool overnight and get the base sanded so they are not available to be picked up immediately. If you live close by thats not an issue but if you dont, they do offer shipping options. We just ran back up the following weekend and picked ours up.The experience was hands on and a lot of fun. They offer different classes for each holiday or you can book a private class to try making more difficult things. I would recommend that everyone try this at least once. We will definitely be back.

Have you ever had the urge to try an activity that sounds absolutely riveting, but you were afraid of the learning curve, the potential health risks, or social anxiety? This is your solution to trying the art of glassblowing. Decatur Glassblowing is a very quaint shop that is very far off the beaten path. Its biggest highlights are the staff and their attention to safety, detail, and fun! They are very friendly, show you step-by-step how to make your own pieces and hold your hand as much as you would like them to (if placing a rod with melted glass into a furnace is not for you).Before you go: check to see if they have any special classes going on. ex. September and October they are featuring glass pumpkins to create. Also, think ahead of what color schemes you would like, you can be traditional, or as wild as you would like to be!You can join in a group, but I would recommend individual lessons/date night plans to enjoy the experience in a more intimate setting.

What a fun place to come learn how to make glass art!

The glass blowers were very friendly and helpful. The glass sculptures in the shop were beautiful. I look forward to seeing my finished product and trying it a second time with an ornament

Reasonable and was very informative

My husband and I were gifted a glassblowing class. We had never done it before and it was amazing! Definitely something we will treasure and we loved our ornament we each made ourselves! So cool. If uve never done it, add this one to ur bucketlist!!

Seriously amazing experience. Lee really made everyone feel at ease. Highly recommended.

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The class we took there was a good team building event for our squad.

Great way for people to get a chance to make something beautiful. Took the family and all the kids had a blast making ornaments

Awesome time and instructor

Kelly was very informative, helpful, and safe while my husband and I made ornaments for the first time. Will definitely be back for a private class and a wider range of creations!

Such a fun experience! I bought a two hr private session for my mom and I. We got to make multiple pieces with the fabulous guidance of Carolina! I can’t say enough great things about her, and I am excited to see the cooled pieces in a day or two. I have no doubt that I will be doing this again. A small private session is definitely the way to go and worth every penny!

Amazing hospitality and friendly and easy going staff.

Absolutely loved this experience and my friends did too! Caroline was exceptional! Thanks for a great time and a beautiful glass blown flower!

Beautiful pieces. i commissioned a platter for my kitchen. cant wait yo get it. they have classes and im going to take one or two for fun. check out their site, but also go look at their stuff. ill bet youll want to take a class, too!1-14-20: update. heres 2 pics: one with flash and one without. i love it.there is no green in this piece. when you hold it up to the light, its only yellow and red. amazing!!

A fun activity for almost all ages. I went on a Saturday and the class was full but not too large. You get one-on-one assistance throughout the whole process. Overall an enjoyable experience that allows you to make something tangible to take home with pride. Had a great time.

We took the Glassblowing class, it was so much fun. Lee and Abigail were wonderful! They were professional, kind, knowledgeable, and made the experience worth it. The glass pieces for sale in the gallery are truly amazing to behold.

We had such a great time making glass flowers. It was really easy and fun. Carolina was our instructor and she was a amazing. She made sure our flowers turned out just the way we envisioned them. We will be back for sure.

Awesome date night or group date night idea! Always have fun at Decatur glassblowing. The staff is super helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. If you take a class during the warmer months I encourage you to bring cold waters or drinks with you cause it can get hot in there.

My husband and I did the 2 hour private lesson as a part of my birthday gift. It was our first time and it was a wonderful. We received friendly and experienced instruction. We were able to each make a flower and two ornaments each. I highly recommend the class.

This place is awesome!

Went as a family to make glass flowers. The 2 ladies that were instructors were very nice and very attentive. Made it quite easy and safe.

Took a glassblowing class as a date with my wife, and we both loved it. We lucked out and got a small class, so we got more one on one attention. You can tell the instructor loves what she does and is very good at it.

I went to a glass blowing demonstration with family and friends for my birthday. It was a wonderful experience. My 5-year-old nephew even loved it. The staff and Nate were fantastic. We purchased many wonderful items including one that was made that day. We are planning on ordering some custom memorial items and I cannot wait to visit again the next time we are in Atlanta.

Great date night. Great staff. We will difently be doing another class.

Excellent place to make glass ornaments

Awesome staff...lots of fun

First visit, made glass hearts. Was a fun event.

I love to watch this happen

Lee gave a terrific class! He was patient, informative, and friendly. My wife loved it and this plus dinner made a perfect date night. Highly recommended.

So much fun taking the class!

Brought my husband for his birthday & had a blast! Carolina was so patient talking us through how to work with molten glass. Definitely recommend!

I love going here to watch the artist start from nothing & make beautiful work of art!

Love this place. Been several times. Great staff. Even someone like myself who has no clue was able to make soemthing worthy of beauty with their help.

I had a great experience here. I made an ornament with wonderful guidance. Its a great place to take a date, family friends, etc. Staff are knowledgeable and super friendly. I plan to go back soon.

Decatur glassblowing is a different experience. The instructors were knowledgeable and friendly. However, the experience was underwhelming. The whole experience was all of 5 minutes. Creating more than simply one item felt cheap. They could do better.

Fantastic time! Keep in mind, your glass won’t be ready for a couple of days so plan accordingly if you’re from out of town. Would definitely go back.

Thank you so much to Decatur Glassblowing for a wonderful evening last night and for the really cool class! Cant wait to see our finished blown glass.Yall, be sure to check them out. We had an amazing instructor.#OurGlassisBlown#BearofRealEstateTeamHitstheTown

Lee was very patient and kind. Been wanting to try this for years! Cant wait for my egg for Easter. :)

Gorgeous art, I cannot wait to take a class here.

So cool!! Everyone should do this at least once. We enjoyed this place better than the other place in the same area (both were good). We really enjoyed the instruction, knowledge and freedom to do more on your own.

The staff are friendly and super helpful. We were in a class of almost 30 people and thought it would take forever for everyone to have a turn. But it was quick and easy and didn’t feel rushed. Fun for all and was a great birthday surprise for a friend of mine.

This was so much fun! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable as well as fun. The glass art in the gallery is gorgeous Cant wait to go back.

Fun experience with nice instructors.

Incredibly fun experience! It seems pricey but it was worth it. A great idea for date night! We will be back :)

My glass flower turned out lettuce-y lol but the experience was fun!

Really cool experience for the glass blowing classes.

Loved this experience. My family went for your daughters birthday. We had a great time. We must come back.

The people are so kind and very informative they are helpful but not intrusive and the glass that is made is so beautiful! Decatur glass blowing offers classes for groups, pairs and probably lone wolfs. My group of 4 made ornaments with some that can be hung from a Christmas tree and others to just sit out on a table or something a rather. I would highly recommend great employees and a amazing experience!

Fun experience! Our Girl Scouts went and really enjoyed the craft. Staff very nice.

I love this place, have been there 3 times and each time I bring more people with me. They love the experience and Lee is simply the best!!! He is patient, kind and has a great sense of humor. My adult kids loved it, it was part of their Christmas gifts. Highly recommend. Rose Harrison

Wonderful instructors and an overall great time. Looking forward to getting my price in a couple of days when it is ready.

Best experience! Our teacher was excellent. So much fun. Will be back.

Super fun to get to glassblow. The staff was generally nice and helpful and the pieces turned out great! A lot of money but overall a great experience.

We took a class here and it was super fun. My husband and I enjoyed making a little something for the house and learned something new at the same time.

Took my husband for our anniversary, we were both super impressed and it was a lot of fun! Instructors were great! Cant wait to go back!

The staff were interesting and good teachers. My end piece is so neat and looks great sitting in my plant.

Had an amazing time learning some very basic glass blowing techniques. The artists here are really knowledgeable, understanding, and helpful. They will do their best to help you create what you have in mind and meet your goals. Their works are beautiful! I strongly encourage checking them out.

Awesome!!! Super friendly folks and just an absolute blast!!! Will be going back soon!!

Had a birthday party here. It was awesome, and the instructors made it easy to do.

Taken 3 classes now with them. All have been date night activities (leaving the 3 kids at home with their grandparents moohahahaha). Obviously its a very hot activity. Believe the furnaces are running above 2K degrees. Classes are generally smaller. Maybe 12-20 people. Just depends on who signs up. Parking is limited but more available around the corner. They of course have a large showroom of premade glasswork if the class is not your thing. Worker with few different instructors now. Did a class that was actually glass blowing. Other 2 classes were just hot glass work. They run through an example prior to bringing you up to do yours. They give you as much control as they can if you are comfortable doing that. Have 2 stations generally going simultaneously. If you go as a couple as it seems has always been the case in our classes you can watch each other go or separate if you just like but dont love that date. They let you pick your colors. Have finished samples of what the colors should look close to when done. When done you have to leave your work for 24-48hrs for annealing (they slowly bring it down from 1000 or so degrees). If you are not local and would rather have it shipped its been a reasonable rate to do that everytime for us. Shows up at our door lovingly packed. Ive worn t-shirts, jeans and they require closed toe shoes for sure. Cotton us suggested. Most classes are set up for beginners who may have never attempted this before. We certainly felt more comfortable the repeat classes. They seem to enjoy repeat students and while they may not remember names seem to know they have seen us before. Classes change through the year. Pumpkins in the fall, flowers in the spring, ornaments in the winter, egg paper weights around Easter. Outside of the classes they can also do custom work for you as well. We will return again soon.

Had a great time! We made pumpkins for fall, and the instructor walked us through each step. We picked out our own colors and size- best for beginners. It was also much shorter than we thought it would be (we were out in 40 minutes, not 90 minutes like we thought)

Had a good time instructor was great

Nice place to bring friends and family to try new things

Lee was a great instructor. Will be going back soon.

John was awesome in a private class for my wife and I. We were a little intimidated at first but John made it fun and easy! Would definitely recommend the late classes as a great date night. Thank you guys!

Great date spot, definitely a unique experience. Went with my wife to make pumpkins, cant wait to go pick them up.

Great studio with amazing instructors!

My wife and I found this place online, booked our Sunday matinee date online, and used Google Maps to find this gem, nestled snugly in a quiet spot near downtown Decatur. We couldnt imagine the entire experience being any better! We opted for the group pumpkin class, and our instructor, Lee, has nearly 50 years experience in glassblowing. He was so encouraging, kind, helpful, and fun! I am confident that my pumpkin creation will be mediocre at best, but the experience was amazing! The instructors allowed the students as much independence in making our own art as safety protocols allow, but were there helping and encouraging us each step of the way, ready and willing to rescue you if necessary. I cant say enough good things about Lee - thanks for making our time so wonderful! Highly recommend you spend the time and money to check this place out! We live over an hour away, but were looking forward to going back again sometime soon!

Lets fun had cant wait to go back Staff very helpful and sweet

First time glass blowing. We did pumpkins, Abigail our instructor was so patient and very knowledgable. She made the whole experience very enjoyable. I definately liked how i was able to be more hands on if i felt comfortable. It was a very rewarding experience. Cant wait to get my piece!

The artists were great during a 2 hr class. Wonderful gallery and experience

We will be coming back for sure. Our teacher was named Lee and he was awesome! Made us feel very comfortable and was very thorough with directions. Great experience!

Used a Groupon. It was a great experience. Will be looking to do it again for other classes they provide

Cool local artists with shop and class offerings.

Neat, secluded place. Guy in charge great at what he does, but fairly rude.
