Ohio Glass Museum — Attraction in Hocking Township

I wish I could give 0 stars. This place has treated me terribly!! I called to set up a class for a group of bridesmaids and was never told they will not refund your money even if it’s something beyond my control, only told I could reschedule 24 hours in advance. Something beyond my control had changed and I’ve been calling for 2 weeks (2-3 calls a week) to get my money back and they refuse saying it’s their policy to not refund only reschedule. I am out $180 because of this. The receptionist(s) (I’ve spoken to 2 I believe) have been so rude and have talked to me like I’m 3 and I’ve yet to hear back from the glass blowing class manager, Teresa, herself! I’ve explained I understand policies but this is something that is beyond my control and has now prevented me from booking something different per the brides request. I will NEVER give my business to this place ever again. Had they been the least bit respectful toward me and follows up with a call back to me this rating and rant may have gone a little differently. I would never recommend this place for anything unless you are willing...

We visited the museum as part of group activity for boys and girls around 9yrs old. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and both she and the material presented was able to keep the attention of our group. We learned about the history of glass, especially in regard to Lancaster and the surrounding area in Ohio, and the important role this area played in the production of glass and the science/technology behind glass products. Just when you thought glass was and everyday item with little to no impact on your life, you learn how important it has been for science, medicine and technology as a whole. Sure, you can drink from it or eat off of it and if you drop a drinking glass there's not too much to worry about; but what about a cell phones glass screen or chemists glass tubes? What about a researchers viles containing the next vaccine or a rock flying at your windshield while driving down the road. Stop in and learn about the history of glass, the role this region of Ohio has had in making glass and witness glass making at its finest in...

At the Ohio Glass Museum, the Ohio TuesDayTrips folks came for a tour and demonstration of glass blowing. We were guided through the museum by Angie who is definitely passionate about glass products and the beauty provided by them as works of art. Her husband, father and Grandfather were all glass blowers in Lancaster.

The museum has displays of many different vendors glass such as Anchor Hocking, Fenton and Westmoreland. There is handmade and blown pieces and also molded pieces which were the basic low-cost glass products for the average consumer. Some of the most fascinating pieces were the laboratory glass with intricate tubing inside outer tubes in differing shapes and sizes.

After the museum tour we were seated overlooking the glass blowing furnaces and work space. The glass artist was Traci and she made a paperweight with an internal colored design. The onsite glass artists make items sold in the gift shop of the museum. This was fascinating and we would recommend this tour and demonstration...
