Hudson Beach Glass — Attraction in City of Beacon

They’ll cancel your reservation and tell you to get in line:

I had a set class reservation for a month and they had to cancel it due to maintenance on the furnace (totally reasonable) but instead of allowing me the opportunity to reschedule sooner than the general public, which I felt was a reasonable request being I paid several weeks ago and they canceled on me, they instead refunded me and asked me to schedule a new appointment online myself - essentially asking me to get in line.

If you’re looking for a really interesting experience, try moseying over to Hudson Beach Glass.

Not just designing, but actually going in fo help form and blow it! The art is understandably pricey, but the experience of just going in to see what beautiful things can be made is worth the trip. Be sure to visit upstairs, where they have a rotating gallery of art! Below is some things I’ve amassed as gifts from Hudson Beach Glass over the years. I love visiting whenever I’m...

My friends and I recently took a Christmas ornament class at Hudson Beach Glass, and it was such a blast! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, fun, and incredibly memorable.

Mikayla was our point of contact and made the design process a breeze.

And John, guided us through the actual glassblowing process, was fantastic. He explained everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable while creating our ornaments.

Already thinking about going back to try other designs! Highly recommend to...
