Flame Run — Attraction in Louisville

So many reasons why this place is awesome. Set up everything with Tiffany and she showed me samples of everything to get an idea. After some wild ideas I had, she helped me tone it down to understand the properties of what the glass can and cannot do. John Stokes worked with me on Spirit Pieces for one of my dogs. He was so respectful, knowledgable and just all around awesome. Because of the hot shop they work in, the shop walls are open. He put a cover over the ashes so the wind wouldn't blow them away. I didn't think about that at the time but just that small touch was thought out in a away that I didn't-- in grief. I got two hearts done. He worked with me from start to finish and let me in on the creative process. Each heart is completely different which attests to both his technique as well as what the glass just "does" in the fire. Just go with it and it becomes more awesome. I was able to choose colors etc. and he was nice enough to tell me what colors look like after. Meaning in the jar vs in the fire. I appreciated that because once it goes in the fire it's too late. You really dont know what the fire will do. You just trust. And let crafter do what they know how to do. That's the beauty of it. Several days later once cooled the piece actually comes out better than what you first see. All around they're just cool peeps! Rave, rave, rave!!! I'll be...

I scheduled an event for my club members that was scheduled to take place the second week in December. I scheduled this event the first week in November. I was never advised at that time that Flame Run limits the selection of items that customers can make, only to Christmas seasonal ornaments. When I arrived with my club members, we were advised of this at that time. None of the people within my party came to make Christmas ornaments. They signed up to make one of the other items included in the vast selection offered by Flame Run. We ended up leaving, not making anything. Their lack of communication is disappointing. I will not organize another event here. However, I did discover Payton Glass, in the same building, which actually allows you to truly make your own glass item. I will schedule my follow up event with...

I was so excited about doing this! I called ahead, asked about doing bourbon glasses, was told with the holidays they are just slammed busy and couldn’t do it. So, we decided to do a ornament, anyways. We got there and the place was empty. We were the only ones. Still excited, we went to blow our glass and felt very rushed. When we were checking in, the lady talked about different designs, but that was never even an option. . . It was just quickly done and over with. It only took maybe 5 minutes and we were out the door. Great concept, but $40 each for 5 minutes each is crazy. . . And you get no say but a little color choice. We literally blew into a tube for 30 seconds, if that. It was the only Interaction we had. Maybe we just hit an off time and we are excited about having our own glass, just a little...
