I recently had the pleasure of taking a glass blown pumpkin class at stARTup Studios, and I can't say enough wonderful things about the experience. From start to finish, it was an absolute delight, and I walked away with a beautiful handcrafted glass pumpkin that I'm incredibly proud of.
First and foremost, the instructors at stARTup Studios are true artists and masters of their craft. They exude a passion for glass blowing that is infectious, and they were patient and encouraging throughout the entire process. Even as a complete beginner, I felt at ease under their guidance. They took the time to explain the techniques, safety precautions, and the science behind glass blowing, which added an educational element to the class that I really appreciated.
The studio itself is a gem. It's well-equipped with all the tools and materials needed for the class, and it has a welcoming and creative atmosphere. The facilities are clean and organized, which made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable.
Now, let's talk about the actual glass blowing process. It's truly mesmerizing to see how a simple lump of molten glass can be transformed into a stunning piece of art. The hands-on experience of gathering, shaping, and blowing the glass was exhilarating. The instructors were there every step of the way, ensuring that we felt confident and safe while working with the hot glass.
What I loved most about this class was the opportunity for creativity. While there were guidelines for making a pumpkin, each participant had the freedom to add their unique touch. I was able to choose the colors for my pumpkin, and I even added some intricate details to make it truly one-of-a-kind.
Was able to pick a stunning glass pumpkin that exceeded my expectations after an overnight annealing. It's a beautiful piece of art that will be a cherished part of my kids will be fighting over. I also gained an appreciation for the art of glass blowing, and I'm eager to explore this craft further.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the glass blown pumpkin class at stARTup Studios to anyone interested in art, craftsmanship, or simply looking for a unique and unforgettable experience. The instructors, the studio, and the entire process were exceptional, and I can't wait to return for another class. Thank you, stARTup Studios, for an amazing and...

It might be easy to over look the shop, but 1000% worth a stop in there to look at the art, or learn from one of...
Read moreBryan was such a great instructor! He is very talented and well spoken. I attended this class with my husband, 14 year old stepson, and 12 year old stepdaughter.

We had to ship our glasses back to Michigan since we were only in town for the weekend and they arrived less than a week later packed very securely.
