Walking into Glassworks Studio is like walking into an alternate glass universe. Wherever you look there are glass creations and samples. Even the bathroom is designed with as an aquarium made of glass creations!

We visited Glassworks Studio (our second time) one early afternoon recently.  Being a regular weekday with most people at work or in school it It was nice and calm. During busier seasons and on weekends it is definitely advisable to reserve a slot ahead of time. I have been to Glassworks with my girls a number of years ago and my girls still speak about how much they enjoyed it.

When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff. We were told to choose what we wanted to design. There is an incredible number of options including vases, bowls, trays, coasters, circle shapes, heart shapes, picture frames and many types of specialty items to decorate. Once we chose what to decorate, and gained inspiration from the many samples, we were seated with the materials, tools and instructions. We were told that either we can decorate by creating our own design or by tracing one of the many pictures they have and use that as the guide.

Whatever you choose to create at Glassworks Studio, whether you choose to do an abstract design, or a picture, ends up looking professional after it is fused. You don’t need to be an artist and there is no right and wrong.

We were shown how to cut the glass and we also were able to choose from the plethora of cut pieces all divided by color. We were given goggles for safety while cutting, and glue to secure the glass pieces so that the glass stays in place.

Glassworks Studio was purchased three years ago by Charlie and Sherri Schachter, from the previous owners and left their corporate jobs in order to share their passion of creating beautiful glass projects with the many visitors. As we were working the helpful staff members kept asking if we need any assistance. They gave helpful suggestions when we asked. The Studio is a calm oasis where creativity can blossom. There is a separate party room for private events and parties.

Once we finished our glass designs we left it there to be fused. Projects are ready a week later for pickup. For more distant cities, they offer “The Carry it Forward” program where they try to find someone from your town who visits at a later date send your project home with.

We had such an amazing experience cutting the glass and creating our masterpieces. We can’t wait for projects to be ready and use the plate and tray we designed.
