Circle 6 Glass Blowing Studio

My daughter loves to be creative. She paints, sketches, sews, crochets etc.. So I thought glass blowing at Circle 6 would be a great experience. I was right. She loved it.  My daughter is 11 but I would have been comfortable taking her when she was younger had I known about this great place.

Katie has always been quite mature, so use your judgement when thinking about coming here because it is an active glass working shop. It is safe and they actually do scout groups and parties.

The shop artists and master glassblowers were so very nice and treated her like one of the adults, which only helped her confidence and has her begging to go back. While they teach you the art of glassblowing they also teach you about the tools of the trade and some of the specialized terminology.






First we chose what type of piece you want to create, then select the colors, then grabbed our blob of melted glass and took it to the larger oven. Once the glass is viscous enough to work we sit and blow the glass and then shape it using large tweezers.

All in all it is about 2 hours of great mother and daughter bonding.  It takes 2 days for your peices to cure and cool.  Once they are ready you pick them up from the studio where you see many beautiful works of art.

Check out GROUPON and the website to book your classes. You will not be dissapointed.
