I booked a glassblowing session through Groupon as a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and it turned out to be such a unique and fun activity. Booking was super easy, and the studio made the whole process seamless from start to finish. The experience itself was incredible—our instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and guided us step by step through the process. He explained the tools, the safety precautions, and the technique in a way that made us feel both safe and confident. It was truly a hands-on activity—we got to shape and blow the glass ourselves (with help of course!), and it was exciting to see the molten glass take form. After our session, we explored the gallery/shop area and were blown away by the variety of stunning glass art available for sale—from colorful bowls and vases to delicate starfish, tumblers, and abstract sculptures. The craftsmanship is top-notch and truly inspiring. Unfortunately, when I pick up my piece, I found my glass bowl cracked during the cooling process. While I was a bit disappointed since I really liked what I made, they kindly offered to remake the piece for me. It’s not quite the same as doing it myself, but I appreciate the gesture and the professionalism. All in all, this was a really special experience—perfect for a date, birthday, or anyone wanting to try something creative and out of the ordinary in Seattle. I highly recommend it and would definitely go back!

Amazing experience! We did a three hour private session that was completely worth it! Our instructor did a fantastic job at teaching, guiding, and helping us with the glass projects. I was a little intimated going into it, but we had assistance the entire time and were able to pick it up quickly. We made 6 beautiful glass pieces! I was pleasantly surprised at how great they turned out. I’d highly recommend!

Yoshi was an amazing teacher! My husband and I loved this experience! We made an ornament and a bowl! Can’t wait for our items to arrive! Loved that they could ship to us since we were only in town for a couple of days! Highly recommend!

5 stars all the way!!! Joe was our instructor and he was great. We did the private class for my husband’s birthday. We made 4 pieces. Highly recommend taking a class.

Doing a glassblowing class has been on my bucket list forever! Our instructor Joe was very informative and patient as he guided us through the creation of our beautiful ornaments. It is something my sister and I will treasure. I know I will love seeing it hanging on my tree year after year. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

What a great experience for my 5 year old! After seeing all the beautiful art sculptures at the Chihuly museum, we happened upon this place and learned about what the studio offers. Instead of taking home a piece some artist made, we are having our son's piece shipped right to the house. There is a two day cooling process. Make sure to set an appointment before you go.

Seattle Glassblowing Studio is a gem in the heart of Seattle! My experience here was nothing short of incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to my instructor, Quinn. His guidance was absolutely top-notch. Quinn’s way of explaining the intricate process of glassblowing was clear, engaging, and inspiring. He made what initially felt intimidating become an approachable and exciting adventure. The studio itself is a stunning space, filled with vibrant energy and breathtaking artwork. Watching the craftsmen at work was mesmerizing—it’s clear they are true masters of their craft. Every piece of glass art seemed like it had its own story. If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, this is it. I walked away with a deeper appreciation for the artistry and a piece I’m proud to call my own. Highly recommend Seattle Glassblowing Studio and Quinn as your guide!

Quinn was an excellent instructor for our 3 hour private session. My daughter and I were able to experience the various steps in making 6-7 pieces in total (3 apiece plus one more). Quinn gathered the clear glass from the crucible, but we were increasingly hands-on in the steps from adding color the way we wanted it, and manipulating the glass progressing to vase and cup forms involving transfer to punty stick and opening the bubble. We asked a lot of questions and got clear and helpful answers. Also scheduling and front desk folks were courteous and efficient. There's a nice shop of art glass pieces to browse. Highly recommend this experience!

Beautiful glass blowing studio located few blocks from the famous Pikes Market. Offers classes individually, group or corporations. Varieties collection displays from different artists from holiday ornaments to glass blowing tools. Everyone were very kind and friendly. The pricing is friend on the items for sure. Thank you Glass Blowing !

Very cool glass blowing gallery with lots of glass art pieces from the very affordable, to the crazy expensive. There was a class going on while we were walking through. I would totally take that glass if we were going to be staying here in the city few more days. The coolest thing is that they can make a custom made glass blown figurine of your dog from a photo. Once we adopt another pup, we will be ordering one of those.

Glass blowing studio with decent selection at reasonable prices. We stopped by this afternoon after spending most of the day at the Chihuly museum, so we had a good sense for what high quality glasswork looks like. They offer classes and had a glass blowing session in progress (with students) when we were there. We browsed and admired the art, and our tween even bought a glass photo frame as her "PNW trip souvenir" - the lady at the counter was a big help! Worth checking out if you're in the area.

Amazing. I attended a special closed evening event. The artists engaged the audience while working. They were so kind answering questions and truly enjoyable to talk to. The gallery has a large variety of styles for sale. I would give more than 5 stars if possible.

This definitely should be on your bucket list when you visit Seattle. I called and spoke with the receptionist who recommended the 1 hour lesson and I got the create my own option. Meaning I was open to doing any item on the class shelf they offer. I did a pumpkin and a bowl. Quinn was my instructor and he made this trip here to Seattle a memorable experience.

I liked this place. Called in to ask a question about the Groupon I was on the verge of purchasing and they offered me the same price and scheduled me in. Joe was our instructor and was super cool and informative. Gave us some independence to do little things and took over as needed. We didn't feel restricted, just felt like he was keeping us safe. I read some of the other reviews and I will say yes, the amount you pay for 30mins does go quick. And 85-90% of the activity is guided or the instructor handles. But you have to remember you are working with a furnace that is about 2200 degrees. If you go and melt your arm off & it's gone for life you then wonder..... "why didn't they put preventive measures from allowing this happening??" Since the city is very big on glass and if you are visiting I would recommend certainly giving them a visit, especially if you've never done something like this before.

My friend found a Groupon online for two to take the one hour glassblowing class. Such a fun and unique experience. We thought we would be doing either an ornament or a paperweight, but we got there and we could choose between 5 items. It was such a tough decision! It is recommended to wear cotton clothes (denim, tshirts) and closed toed shoes are a must. You must wear eye protection. You can bring your own, or they have some you can use (cleaned inbetween each new person) We worked with Stevie. He was very knowledgable about glass blowing. I was sad we didn't actually get to physically do the glass blowing, but I understand due to COVID. We got to do everything else - help heat it up, shape it and make it how we wanted. The hour went by very quickly but we are both happy with how our products came out. You don't get your piece right away. You have to let it cool for 2 days and then you have two months to pick it up. They can also ship it. If you pick it up, it's always good to double check and make sure you are going home with the right item. Our name got accidentally got attached to another bag, so I'm glad I checked and didn't go home with someone else's goodies! I have attached our finished products!

This was so much fun. If you are into glass at all, definitely do a class here. Yes, it's pricey, but you'll come out with a lovely glass object or two (depending on the class) that is worth something in itself, plus you've paid for your instructor's time and expertise. And if you're not sure, come check out the gallery full of amazing art and watch the hot shop at work. Definitely a great thing to do whether you live here or are visiting from out of town. The Northwest glass movement is such a big part of overall local art scene, it's really fun to get a closer view of how glass artists do their work. Just do it!

Super great place! They hosted a recent Amazing Race season finale so it was fun to see it in person. Beautiful pieces from artists all over the PNW. You can even purchase tools and supplies to glassblow at home. We didn't take a class here but you can! Very friendly employees and great value.

My two kids and I have watched all the seasons of Blown Away on Netflix. We've seen glass blowers at Fairs and amusement parks. It's something we've wanted to do for a while. We were going to go to Seattle for vacation. While looking for things to do, I found this establishment on Groupon. My kids couldn't say yes quick enough when I brought up this experience. We scheduled ourselves for the group experience for 3 hours. If you go to the website and don't find a convenient time, I recommend calling them to see if there is some flexibility. That is what I did, and it worked out great for us. Our instructor, Ellye, was amazing! We had never worked with making glass and she explained what we were doing and why. We got lessons on working with glass and a little history lesson at the same time. We made three ornaments, two glasses, and one paperweight. Ellye was great working with us and let us work as quickly as we wanted. This is an active studio as well. On one side of us was another class. On the other side of us was an artist creating a piece that would go on display and sale on site. We got to see it live. We got to see it again on Instagram. I would highly recommend this business for glass blowing classes and their shop where you can buy various items from the artists who sell their art pieces. Would we do this again? Absolutely!

OMG! So much fun and so worth it! Private 2 hr class with William was fantastic! Time flew by and he made it so informative and comfortable--just like being with an old friend. Great workshop for we beginners--show one, do one philosophy with lots of guidance. Amazing how hard it is to remember to keep the glass spinning. Custom colors and mult options for creation make this so unique and memorable. We get to take home custom creations! Or at least have them mailed home. Would definitely recommend and return!

We had a great experience hosting a small work event at Seattle Glassblowing. The instructors were really patient and friendly and we learned a lot about the glassmaking process. In addition, the space is set up for hosting with music and room for food and beverages. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience with the private glass blowing lesson I booked for my birthday! It was really personalizes and fun, and I learned a lot about the process. Safety precautions were taken very seriously both for covid 19 and playing with fire! I had a lot of fun getting to participate! I recommend getting the full 2 hours for $275. You make money off of all you get to make! Some tips: You need 2 days for pick up or shipping for the things you will make. In addition, this is a tipping opportunity! You can tip your instructor on your credit card!

Hands down the coolest experience ever with the best people! We booked last min but Ali was sweet to squeeze us in the next day with William (tip: calling sometimes has more options for booking). We booked for my 2 kids to do the pressed/smaller pieces. It was amazing to see them so hands-on with creating such beautiful pieces, of course guided. I didn't know glass studios would allow kids to participate but I am so glad they do. William was so patient and helpful explaining the process. Unplanned, we were also to squeeze in a hand blown item to make too. We went with a pumpkin and we chose the color and again had a veryhands-on experience. We have been watching the Nextflix series Blown Away and actually being able to work with glass was a treat. The beautiful shop has such unique pieces that we couldn't resist a couple pieces from there too.

This has been on our bucket list since I saw my friend's kids take a class here in 2019. We finally got to go back to Seattle this month and the first thing I did (after booking flights) was reserve a session for my kids. I am grateful to the other reviewers who mentioned the Groupon, so I purchased one for my older one and booked another directly through this store's website for my youngest (no Groupon available for her age range). If you purchase a Groupon, once you get the confirmation email (with the code on top), call the store to reserve a day/time. It's quick and easy. My youngest one (who took the 5-10 years old class) chose to make a sand dollar paper weight (I believe there are 5 options). The class was scheduled for 15 minutes but I think it was closer to 25 minutes. Our instructor, William, was such a fantastic teacher! There are so many people who are brilliant at what they do, but are unable to effectively teach others. William was amazing with our kids. He explained everything thoroughly (without boring them), invited family members to get closer so we could see and hear (safety goggles required), and made jokes that had us all laughing. My oldest chose to make a pumpkin. For her age group (11+ years old), there are also 5 options. The class is scheduled for 30 minutes but I think it was closer to 45. I'm so glad that the kids never felt rushed and that William let them do as much as they could. I did let the kids know beforehand that due to safety, the instructor would guide and help them a lot. Both kids felt they did a lot and could truly say they created their projects (versus the instructor doing most of it). They told me that they want to do this every time we visit Seattle. 48 hours later (after the projects cool), we went back to pick them up. They bubble wrap it for you so that you can pack them safely in your bags to take home (they also ship but I am unsure what they charge). Our friends were also in Seattle at the same time and signed up their son as well, so he went after my kids. He also told his parents he loved it and wants to do it again. This was such a fun and unique experience and the kids got such a special souvenir to bring home! I have recommended this to everyone I know who will be visiting Seattle in the next few months. Hopefully you can request our instructor, William! William - if you're reading this...thank you for giving my kids such a positive and fun lesson/experience last week! They said it was the highlight of our trip!

Yes yes yes! First of all - we purchased a Groupon for a glass blowing session pre-pandemic.... Then everything happened. We were worried that having had the Groupon for so long it wouldn't be honored, or would be an issue of some sort.... And it wasn't. The folks in charge handled the situation with grace and ease and kindness and that started off a wonderful experience! We made an appointment, showed up, were greeted kindly, signed a waver, went back for a session with an instructor who was informative, helpful, made us feel competent (while still basically doing all the work for us) and funny. Our guy had a delightful mix of making you feel like you were doing it yourself, when at the same time you obviously weren't (Thank God). I *highly* recommend this experience. 10/10.

Seattle Glassblowing hit it out of the park. Twenty-four of us gathered at their beautiful studio for an experience we will always remember. Each instructor was kind, funny, smart, and super creative. I highly recommend you schedule your session today. Tuxedo & Tennis Shoes catered our event. Their food was delicious, and they were wonderful to work with. Overall, a 5-star adventure that I would do again in a heart. Thank you again Seattle Glassblowing for making our kickoff so memorable.

Oh my gosh. So so so much fun. I was kind of skeptical. This was a Christmas Present for my husband because he has been wanting to do it for awhile and he was like a little kid. He just loved it. Me, being skeptical, can honestly say it was a great morning. We made some cool pieces, learned a new skill, met some people and genuinely enjoyed ourselves. Step out of your comfort zone.

Tried to get a last minute class but wasn't able too. I was able to catch a last minute demonstration, where a glass blowing expert, Joy, demo'ed how to make small glass animal portraits. She showed a jellyfish, alligator and a sea-like alien (how she uses excess material). Super interesting and informative for those interested in glass blowing. Joy had a fun personality too. Next to the demo they had a couple doing a glass blowing class, so it was cool to watch the amateurs try too. Fun spot.

I have to say this place is absolutely outstanding with their service and craftsmanship. Hue and Tree did a wonderful job on my piece. They clearly had much passion in their work and provided a one of a kind experience. This has definitely been something I'll remember for the rest of my life :)

I made an appointment to bring our two grandsons to the studio for the experience of making a glass object and I must say we were very pleased with the experience. Each of the boys were able to select the item that they wished to make, the color(s) they wished to use, and a preferred pattern of the colors on the item itself. The instructor took each one separately and was precise in both the safety information as well as the step-by-step instruction. He had a wonderful demeanor with the boys. (ages 9 and 12) while explaining each of the processes and how the molten glass was going to perform and consequently "shape." Our boys were happy to be able to participate in making their objects and in a few short days the items will be delivered to us which I chose since we do not live close to Seattle. All in all a great experience and an opportunity in which to participate in something unique.

What a disappointment. I was so hopeful that this was going to be a unique and memorable experience. Oh, it was memorable - just not the way I had hoped. NOT WORTH THE PRICE PAID... I bought two 30 minute sessions as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I called to make the reservation and was delighted with the woman that assisted me. She was kind and helpful and a joy to speak with. I hate to say it...but that is where the great customer service concluded. We showed up for our time slot in February (the month will make sense in a minute). As we watched the couple in front of us do their project, we quickly realized that this was not what we had anticipated. The experience is 90% executed by the instructor. I got to pick out what I wanted to make and the pattern and color. After that, the involvement was limited. They do most of it. I understand it is dangerous and an art that needs a specific skill set and training - but I felt like a kindergartener. Our instructor was not sincere, he seemed like he was going through the motions and I felt like he was not engaged. Then when I was done, he quickly whisked my project away. It happened so fast that I did not even get to take a picture of it. I paid $150.00 for 30 minutes and was so rushed I was at the counter in 20 minutes feeling completely let down. My boyfriend (whom I bought this experience for) decided to cancel his time. They were at least willing to refund us. Then a few days later, my bowl came in the mail - it was lopsided and sloppy. I guess if they are going to control 90% of the experience, it should at least look good. I could have purchased something better for less and not wasted my time. I wish I could have sent it back since I felt bad for throwing it in the garbage. But after all of that - it was not something I was going to display. The reason the date of our experience was important, is that about two weeks after - I emailed them directly to give my feedback - that was a MONTH AGO. Too often people take to social media to share their opinion and do not even give the company the chance to make it right or even know the feedback before it goes public. I tried to be the bigger person - wanting nothing in return except maybe a response and got NOTHING. They could not even reply to my email and acknowledge my frustration or disappointment. Seriously?! So now I feel the need to at least warn other people. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

The Seattle Glassblowing Studio has a lot of great glass artwork. I visited a few places in the area and this studio had the best pieces in terms of quality, attention to detail and uniqueness. I found the prices to be fair given these factors. The staff was also quite friendly and willing to share information about what they do. Visitors can easily view the artists while they are working. They also offer classes to the general public, which is something I would like to do one day. Make sure to have a look inside their restroom, which is beautifully decorated with glass pieces on the walls. Parking was available and plentiful in nearby metered spots on the street.

Saw this place via instagram and I thought it would be such a cool experience! My in laws had come up to visit for the week and it was their 30th wedding anniversary so we decided to book an experience for the four of us. They didn't have any openings until the last day of their trip which just so happened to be the date of their anniversary so we jumped on the open slot they did offer us. Fast forward to the AFTERNOON before we were supposed to go and I receive a voicemail stating that they were going to CANCEL our booking AFTER they already took 600 bucks from us! I was livid. The girl who was on the phone with me told us that there was basically nothing they could do unless we were willing to move our reservation to a different date. She was hardly apologetic stating what was she to do since one of her employees called in sick? I ended up finding a different glass blowing studio in Tacoma and told the girl to refund us. The place in Tacoma was way more accommodating and they were cheaper! Our pieces came out fantastic. Over all super disappointed with this place.

Great family create-your-own piece of art glassblowing experience in the hotshop with Daniel. Highly recommend his instruction and class. We had a minor miracle occur during our family session - grumpy family member refused to participate, wanted to go home, and after seeing two of us laugh, create, make mistakes, learn, and be coached through the work by Daniel, they decided to participate and ended up having a good time creating their own work (they liked it so much they are now signed up for a beginning glassblowing class!) Did I do a lot? I did some of the work. I was totally happy with the amount I did - it taught me that glassblowing looks easy because the folks that do it have put in their 10,000 hours perfecting their craft. I'm really happy with my piece because it looks the way I wanted it to look... and there's no way I could have done it on my own. We used Groupon for the discount which was nice to have. Another Top 10 for visiting Seattle - but do this early in trip, so the pieces of glass art have time to anneal (2 days) before they can be taken home.

We had the great experience at this studio. Our instructor was friendly, extremely careful and knowledgeable. My family of 4, made 2 paper weights and 2 bowls in a two hour period. Winter is a good time to go because it doesn't get so hot inside. It expensive but worth it!

My daughter gave me a Groupon coupon for Christmas & I could hardly wait to try making glass. The instructor was awesome and explained things throughly! I was nervous at first, but soon was too busy assisting in the process. It is a fascinating art and it was awesome to walk through the process. In less than an hour, I had a glass bowl, so cool! The instructor did the majority of the work, but let me participate just enough to feel like I had a part in creating the bowl! The ovens are pretty hot and I'm sure there is so much more to this process, but thank the folks at Seattle Glass Studio for making it a memorable experience!

My boyfriend and I did the 3 hour private lesson and had a fantastic time! Joe was our instructor and was amazing! Toward the end of the lesson when we got more comfortable, he let us do some aspects by ourselves, but in a safe manner! He was very collaborative and we were able to make 5 pieces! I totally would recommend this experience, the three hours flew by!

Okay so talk about trying something new. If you read my reviews you often see me tagging that on my check ins. I mean what is life for if you're not constantly trying to try new things. And that doesn't just apply to trying new foods it also includes trying new experiences, new cities, new people (not in a weird way.) Seattle glassblowing studio is a really cool thing to do with family or friends maybe even your significant other. If you have never gone to make your own beautiful glass creation this is the place to do it. The staff is super helpful and kind and very good at what they do. In fact, an older man there who was assisting me mentioned that he had been glass-blowing for over 20 years. Can you imagine that having over 20 years of experience at anything would make anyone an expert. I got to pick the colors of glass and experience the heat on my forehead as I crafted my own creation. The people working there had to coach me the whole way but somehow still made me feel like I knew what I was doing. The prices are really affordable and you get to make not one but up till like 5 pieces if you pay for their package deal. So what are you waiting for decorate your home with a self-made work of art from Seattle glass blowing Studios today! But you know I can't close out this review without giving my true yelpers a few Insider tips. Wear clothing that you can strip the layers away as you work because it gets extremely hot in this place. When you're getting down to the nitty-gritty it'll feel like you're inside of an oven. Paid super close attention to your instructor. I kept getting the feeling like I was going to get severely burnt if I wasn't paying attention. And after you sign that waiver it's on you if you know what I mean. Also go with a friend don't do this alone it's one of those things you want to experience with someone else. Make sure you bring coins for parking because there isn't a parking lot and you will have to pay so you don't want to come outside you would take it you know that's a bummer.

My mother and I attended the Mother's Day event deal this studio was offering: 2 for 1 price creating a flower and heart. We actually never intended to take a class initially walking into the shop the Friday before; however, the woman behind the counter was very persuasive and we signed up. I am so GLAD we did! I was trying to find a great place or outing to take my mother for the holiday. This was perfect for her! The pieces we made were beautiful. Things you should know for attending these classes: close toed shoes, pants (capris work), short sleeves (it gets HOT), and a hair tie (if necessary). It'll take an hour or two, but worth the time. Sign up far in advance, this isn't a same-day class. My mother and I will be attending another class ASAP! Thanks again!

I had the best time learning to blow glass with my instructor, Tom. Everyone there was warm, cheerful, patient, and prioritized safety. I was so impressed by how hands-on the experience was, and how we were able to create a masterful looking glass piece despite me being a complete novice. I would recommend this to everyone, especially if you have out of town guests to impress. It's a unique experience and you will walk away with a gorgeous one of a kind souvenir!

This was a great beginner's class for my daughter. We purchased the Groupon and simply called to make an appointment using the code. Everyone there was helpful and friendly. I especially want to compliment Hugh, the instructor who worked with my daughter. He was patient and so knowledgeable. He answered every question we had, thoroughly explaining so that we could understand. The finished product will be ready in 2 days. From what we saw, it looked adorable. We can't wait. Overall, a fun experience for us and we totally recommend trying it.

Became aware of this studio while researching Seattle and checking Groupon for deals. Called ahead to ask about glassblowing classes. On the phone the rep was so polite and answered all my questions. On the way to Top Pot there is was. Doughnuts could wait a few. Really cool that a class was going on and walk-ins can take it in from a distance. The studio itself is quite large with different themed rooms. There are pieces from studio artists and outside glass workers. Terri helped us with our first order. She gave insight to the pieces, explained shipping and just helped with everything. We discussed another piece but had to talk about it over doughnuts. She even recommended a good Top Pot choice. We ended up getting another piece and were able to combine shipping charges. Everything arrived safely a week later. It was exactly what I hoped to find in the Emerald City.

Walking down 5th Ave we saw really cool glass work out on the sidewalk in front of this studio so we decided to go in. They have absolutely beautiful pieces in here - all very pricey - but if I had the money, I would buy it all up! The girl working told us that we could go in the back and watch them make glass. We went back and it was really cool to see them shape the glass with torches and hot ovens and whatever else they were using. We stood back there for a bit, but then it got too hot and it was kind of funky smelling, so we went back into the shop. Cool place to check out the glass art and watch the glass making process in person!

We held our team holiday party here and it was such a hit! We have a team of 17 and each of us had the opportunity to blow our own piece and were then able to create a team piece at the end. We had food catered and drinks delivered. I worked with Terri and she was an absolute pleasure! 5 star service all the way around from the initial inquiry to shipping the pieces. Not to mention the instructors are so talented as well. We gave very minimal description of what we had in mind for our team piece and they were able to create a beautiful glass bowl that matches our company colors perfectly! We have it placed in our lobby & filled it with candy. Thank you, again!

I took the half hour workshop with Stevie, and I had a great time! He was super knowledgeable and walked me through the steps and told me what he was doing and what we would be doing next, which is super helpful when working with molten hot glass! I had never worked with glass before, but I felt comfortable working with someone who really knows their stuff. He asked me what I wanted to make, and I decided on a blue bowl. I picked up the bowl two days later from the studio (they also ship if you need them to) and I couldn't be happier with the result! I highly recommend taking a class or workshop with Stevie!
