Such a great experience! 10/10 would recommend a tour and/or class. They have all levels of experiences, from kids to adults. Definitely worth a visit.

Perfect date night!!!! Went to a class where my girlfriend & I both made our own pint glasses & had some delicious beer from 2 Frays. I dont know if it's the beer, or the super fun and unique experience, but we had greatest time! *also shoutout to instructor Leo, couldn't have asked for a better guide through it!

Went to a Make-it-Now event, Gather and Brew with Necromancer Brewing, to make a beer glass. Our instructor, Blaine, was so fun and knowledgeable. We had such a great time learning about glass blowing. Enjoyed sampling the beer and visiting the gallery. This is such a great asset to Pittsburgh. I highly recommend visiting and taking a class.

If you’ve wanted to try a class you really should. I’m not an artistic or crafty person so I was nervous to take my first class here. The instructor was amazing at explaining the process and making us, a room full of newbies, feel confident in what we were doing.

Went for a school field trip with my daughter in 3rd grade. We had a good time and learned alot. The glass blowing demonstration was very in depth. Also got to see some very interesting and amazing pieces of art. Stop in and check them out.

Our girl scout troop went and we made a fused glass craft and watched two artists make a beautiful fluted bowl. All of the instructors were wonderful with the kids. The glass blowing process is fascinating! We had a wonderful time!

I absolutely loved the flameworked hearts class. The space is clean, bright, and industrial with a little showroom and some stuff for sale. The flame shop is laid out nicely and has everything you need to make some fun creations. This two hour workshop started with a demo. She went over the tools and materials and then walked us through making a heart (either a magnet or a pendant). The steps were actually pretty simple and she explained each one well without sucking up a ton of time. Then it was off to create. I did one heart and then thinking about what I might actually do with more hearts, switched to Christmas ornaments. LOL. The time flew and the process was surprisingly relaxing. I easily could have spent a few more hours there. We will see for sure in 5 days, but I am fairly confident that I might actually like and use what I created. That's no small feat, as I don't consider myself very artistic and generally toss my creations right into the trash.

I have been to the Pittsburgh Glass Center twice now. Once for a class on fused glass and then this past weekend with a small group on glass blowing. The center is awesome. So many different things you can do with glass. I recommend getting a tour. We had Mishawn and Roswell for our tour. Both super knowledgeable. They also did a demo on glass blowing where they made a bowl. It's really cool to watch all the steps of the process and to really appreciate the work that goes into making a piece. After the demo, our group got to make ornaments. We picked our colors and participated in the glass blowing. At the end it goes into a 900 degree oven for a day. I cannot wait to see the finished product!

Today, my wife and I went to the Pittsburgh Glass Center for a 2 hour session where we made blown glass pumpkins with their staff. The class had about 15 people, but we each recieved about 30 minutes of instruction total + 2 pumpkins each!We were thrilled with Jaclyn, Zack, and Theo(or Leo). It was a bit loud and I was too embarrassed to ask Theo/Leo his name a 3rd time.Anyways, they were incredible and working with them made for a great afternoon date.

Nice place to visit. They offer classes teaching the art of glassblowing. From June 4 to August 6 they have free glass blowing demonstrations at 12:30 on the 2nd floor. On the 1sr floor there is a small gallery displaying glass sculptures and a gift shop.
