Both the glass and my mind were blown. There is something really special about instructors that are able to help people with zero glass blowing experience make some incredible pieces.
I would recommend dressing lightly as it's referred to as a "hot shop" for a reason. Additionally, I would recommend getting to your activity early so that you can become familiar with the space and really focus on the safety talk as well as the explanations of possible interactions between colors.
Risa is great at what she does and is very good at communicating throughout the process to help your artistic vision come together in glass form! Grisha instructed us as well and was able to make everyone feel comfortable and safe in the shop.
TLDR: I would recommend a class to anyone looking to try something uniquely fun and make some lasting memories.

Had the best time at the glass blowing class. Perfect for a date night. Keith was our instructor and he was so cool and friendly and knowledgeable. It was more hands on than I expected which was great! Will definitely be back.

Went here for the “crash course.” To prep, I watched several YouTube videos, and got there early to look at gift gallery to get ideas which helped very little when instructors revealed only limited color options and half of them react to the other colors. Was really let down by the lack of education/explanation on if you do xyz to your glass it’ll do xyz. The instructors do 90% of the work which makes sense bc idk what I’m doing. Our items turned out so ugly and not what we asked for. Even asked for the exact design/colors of the one of the samples. Class felt rushed (despite being $75/person) and unfortunately our items reflect that.
Suggestion: send customers a PDF guide (before class) of the color options, their interactions, and the twisting/spinning customization WITH examples.

We booked their pumpkin glassblowing class for 1 hr and loved it! Our pumpkins came out incredible and our instructors were very nice and friendly. Highly recommend this activity. Just a warning that it’s pretty hot in the studio so bring cold water and dress lightly.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience at Ghost Pepper Glass! We came here for a date night and took their glassblowing fundamentals class, and it was such a unique and fun experience. The instructors were fantastic—super knowledgeable, helpful, and focused on safety, which made us feel comfortable the entire time.
We made these awesome, seasonally themed pumpkins for Halloween, and we can’t wait to pick them up tomorrow after they’ve cooled in the oven. The whole process was really accessible. The instructors worked with us one-on-one, walking us through each step and handling the more technical or dangerous parts to make sure everything turned out great.
We learned a lot about the art of glassblowing and are so excited to have a keepsake to remind us of this special night. Big shoutout to Katie for all her help—she made the experience even better! Highly recommend this place for a fun, creative date night or anyone interested in glassblowing.

First, let me state that I have a collected a handful of their pieces over the years. I love their work. So I thought it'd be awesome to have them help us make our work own pieces. So for the Christmas holidays I got us a gift certificate to plan on a future class. Months later, it was a struggle to figure out how to cash in the GC and no on is there to answer your call. So after a bit of a struggle, I got it scheduled. Unfortunately, I should have read the fine details since work happened and we had to miss our scheduled time. I followed up via email and all I got was a message stating that the artists have to be paid. So my loss.
So please be aware of the fact that there's no turning back if you have to miss your slotted time.
We'll find another glass maker to buy pieces from and that does classes. One that isn't so difficult to communicate to reach and is a bit more compassionate about their clients.
I give them five stars because we love their work but am subtracting three for a very expensive ($180) mistake that still has me fuming.

Terrible customer service and very rude. I bought two tickets for a pass and they jacked up prices so it wouldn’t cover. Then I paid additional to book classes. Got a stomach illness day of class and called to resched. No one picked up and so I emailed. They sent a very rude response back while I was sick and then stole my $170. Do not recommend.

I booked a private lesson for my wife and I to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Katie and Amanda led us through the whole process before we got started, including a thorough safety briefing. They let us do as much as possible throughout our 7 projects, kept us on track and gave great suggestions about color choices. It’s was super interesting and very fun. It’s well worth the cost which I know seems high, but once you see the equipment in their studio, the cost makes sense. It was a great experience.

What an awesome experience!! My wife and I went for an hour long class and we really enjoyed ourselves. The three instructors made you feel safe and they let you feel like you were really making something special. They were patient with our questions and just made the evening special. Highly recommend!!

My girlfriend and I took a private lesson for her birthday and it was such a beautiful, fun, creative experience. Our instructor was so knowledgeable and passionate about her profession as a glassblower and made us feel both safe and encouraged during our class. If you’re looking to shake up date night, blow off some steam, or just curious and want to explore a new medium of art, I’d highly recommend Ghost Pepper Glass.

I attended a Taste of Glassblowing class and it was so fun! The instructors were super knowledgeable and kind. They let us be as autonomous as possible while still ensuring we were safe. I learned a lot, and the instructors were happy to answer any questions we had. The price is great for all you get, and I love the piece I made and brought home. I will definitely be signing up for other classes with them in the future.
