Pittsburgh Glass Center

Very cool place glass blowing and you can make glass projects

This place is amazing!!! I’ve taken a couple classes so far and all the instructors have been fantastic. They keep it light and fun while teaching you all the techniques needed to walk away with a beautiful creation. Im already looking for more workshops and classes to take!

I purchased the Glass Hearts class for my daughter and I to take together as a Christmas present. She lives in Pittsburgh but I live two hours away in Bedford. We loved the experience! Christy was a great teacher and much assistance was provided. However, it was a huge disappointment when my daughter went to pick up our hearts three weeks later (she does not live close by) and they weren't there. Possibly one out of the four we made between us was one of ours; otherwise, it looked like others had picked up theirs and ours got taken in the process. Or maybe broken? My daughter said it appeared disorganized. The reason we didn't have them shipped to us is because they charge $10 per heart pendant which is pricey as small as they are. We were so excited to see and wear our hearts. This was a real bummer!!

Was a great experience. I really spend good time with my family here. As they are famous because of glass blown pumpkin and it is really awesome.

Me and another attended the flower make it now session of Valentines day since they give a good deal to make Valentines related crafts that day. It was nice being able to make something. Since they don't supply gloves, I managed to get a burn, but good thing is they have after burn aloe there for use. The other person in my group asked for a double curve in the stem but we instead got a curve in a curve making the stem so thin that it snapped before we could even get it off the hot stick. He tried fixing it with a blow torch but I don't think it will be the same after. It would be nice to make more advanced pieces though. One benefit of the membership, if you're co templating about getting one, is that if they have enough emoylty seats for a workshop, they will give half off tuition for you to do it but it's obviously on a first come first serve basis.
