Firefly Glass Studio — Attraction in Gatlinburg

This is such an awesome place to make mosaic glass art. We came here after spending a few days in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. After spending a couple days taking in all the sights and sounds of these crowded areas we where wanting to get away from all the overload.

We where looking for a fun activity to do that was more low key and this was definitely the perfect activity for us to enjoy.

Our pieces arrived undamaged right on time...

Frustrating "experience". After seeing some videos on YouTube we wanted to stop by and make some glass crafts. Upon arrival we found a sign on the door explaining that they had to step out for a family emergency and that they'd be back soon. The next day we called before driving out. We got a standard voicemail message and took this to mean they were open. Unfortunately, we once again arrived to see the same message from the day before. I understand that life happens and some things need to wait but a non-generic voicemail message would have made all the difference. Instead we wasted a lot of time driving...
