Manchester Hot Glass

Absolutely Incredible Glassblowing Experience! If you’re even thinking about trying glassblowing…DO IT, and do it here! This place is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of creative energy. You can tell right away it’s a true local craft studio, not some cookie-cutter tourist trap. The process of blowing glass was nothing short of magical. Watching molten glass transform into something beautiful with your own hands is honestly mind-blowing. The best part? The owner is an absolute rockstar!Super knowledgeable, insanely talented, and just an all-around awesome human. They made the entire experience feel comfortable, exciting, and totally unforgettable. Whether you’re a total beginner or just love supporting local art, this is a must-do. I walked away with something I’m genuinely proud of and a deeper appreciation for the craft. Can’t wait to go back and make more! Highly, highly recommend. 🔥💥💯

This was our second time there. First time was just me and wife. We had such a good time we had to bring our three boys to do it. Entire family had a blast. If in the area definitely recommend taking a glass blowing class. Andrew makes it a great experience for everyone. If not looking to take class they have plenty of glass work and art for sale there as well. Will be back again when we visit area.

We had an incredible time glass blowing and creating our own bowls.The studio provided a welcoming, creative atmosphere, and the instructors, Andrew and Tim, were patient and knowledgeable, guiding us through each step. The experience was both educational and exciting, and we left with one-of-a-kind pieces we’ll treasure forever. Andrew, our dinner that night was delicious too!

Andrew offers a great class! From start to finish we had a blast... learned alot about glass blowing, made great pieces (with alot of help)& he and his assistant Jim were helpful with the entire process. My husband and I would definitely do this again. Great value for the 2 hours... highly recommend!

We had the best time! Andrew and Jim are an amazing team. It was such a fantastic learning experience and we created the most beautiful, personal pieces of art! Andrew kept us on our toes (and laughing) the entire time. There are so many types (bowls, vases, glasses, etc) and colors of glass objects you can create, with true artists guiding your hands the entire time. Thank you, Andrew!

Absolutely amazing experience taking the 2 hour class. I can't say enough good things about how well run this class is. Andrew and Tim are a well oiled machine, both keeping you safe and helping you along while also letting you do enough that you're really making something - but with their expert help, so you can actually make something beautiful. They could not have been nicer. I mean yes - you need to move fast when working with glass, so sometimes instructions are barked - but you won't care when to see what you can make if you listen and with their expert help. This class is just so well structured that you really can see how you got where you ended up by the end. Can't say enough wonderful things about the experience or the finished pieces, which bring us so much joy. The shop is full of beautiful pieces at super reasonable prices - so even if you don't want to do a class, stop by to shop. But the class is absolutely incredible.

Had an amazing experience blowing glass with Andrew and Tim! My daughter and I laughed, fully enjoying the banter while creating our pieces. Wanted to do this for a long time; finally called in advance of our trip and I am so pleased we did! We walked away with some fabulous memories and two beautiful pieces of functional, unique art. Thank you again, guys, for making these with a little help from us!!! 😁

When our dear Mom passed away, we wanted to create something special with some of her ashes....we wanted "MOMorials"...look what Andrew made for us! We love them. They are a fabulous reminder that Betsy is always with us. Check out how great they look with a lighted base underneath too. Even though we didn't actually make our own pieces, (I plan to go again to do that) Manchester Hot Glass is a fun & interesting (sometimes quirky!) experience, and they made it easy. Thank you Melissa, Jim, and Andrew!
