My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and spent an afternoon with Spencer having a great time making some really cool beads. He was very knowledgeable, patient and kind with how long it took us to get the hang of things haha but we all had fun doing it and that's what matters. We definitely recommend coming here and trying your hand at glassblowing and why not some yoga while you're at it!

Spencer was phenomenal. We greatly appreciated the history and tidbits of glassmaking he incorporated into our form/slumped plate class. He was flexible, informative and extremely helpful! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cool and unique activity to do while in Vermont!

I hired Karen for a pre-wedding yoga class for my friends and I at the Inn at Round Barn. Karen was very easy to communicate with and arrived on time with mats so we didn’t have to bring them! She led us in a really great class that met our needs, leaving all of my friends impressed. I would highly recommend taking one of her classes!

Karen is an amazing teacher. She has a longstanding practice of yoga in the studio and out. She is present, composed, and provides a beautiful setting for new and seasoned yogis to enjoy in her sweet small studio. I love her assists, she is present and not "trying to adjust" but rather allow my body to see what is inside to find my own inner state of ease. I highly recommend her studio.

Spencer was a kind and knowledgeable instructor that showed us the ropes of molding glass and made the class extremely enjoyable. We had a blast and would come back again anytime!

My husband and I were driving north on Route 100 when we passed by this home that had a sign out front near the drive inviting guests to come up and participate in glass blowing. At first we passed by and we're skeptical, but this stop ended up being our favorite part of our entire 8 day road trip. We walked up to a barn behind this home/studio where two gentlemen were actively working in the glass shop creating a piece of art. Both were sweating and busy at work with a steel rod and a furnace, which we later learned was "the Glory hole". Spencer was extremely friendly and welcomed us to sit on the picnic table and watch as they worked away. After watching, we asked if we could go see his studio to buy a piece of blown glass and he walked us down to check out what was in his show room area. A few weeks back my husband and I went to a state craft fair and I fell in love with a glass pumpkin I saw. I didn't get it and was so sad that I missed the opportunity. Fast forward three weeks later and here we were in Spencer's studio with several pumpkins to choose from. Each was so beautiful, but after hearing his stories about the difficulty of making cups, I knew I had to buy a glass cup. Who would have ever thought that drinking out of something miss proportioned would feel so weird, but after him showing me the "oops" cups I knew I had to buy this beauty. (See attached picture).Spencer invited us back up to his shop to finish watching him work on a pumpkin that he had started, so we decided to tag along. The heat in this working environment is unreal. Spencer let us stand in the shop near the Glory hole as they worked to mold and build this tiny pumpkin. So much sweat and hard work went into crafting such a little beauty. After watching it, we had to buy it. We developed so much respect for this art and appreciated the generosity of Spencer and him sharing his space with us to teach my husband and I all about his craft. Due to the glass having to cool, we didn't get to leave with our pumpkin, but Spencer was able to ship it and it will be waiting for us once we get home. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by this shop to experience the beauty of glass blowing and the hospitality of Spencer and his assistant. A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

Don't think just book it. My husband and I did the fused glass plate making class earlier this week and throughly enjoyed the whole process. Spencer was the perfect teacher - super knowledgeable, personable, and patient. You definitely walk away with a respect for glass crafters. We'll be back in the area in the near future and I'd love to do another class with him.

I went there to blow some glass, but didn’t expect my mind to get blown. Fun class and Spencer was a great teacher!

We took a class in glass fusing and highly recommend the experience. You get to learn how to cut and fuse glass and make your own design. Spender is incredibly patient and informative. Just a fun and different experience!

This was the second class that my son and I have taken with Spencer. It was a great experience! Spencer is very thorough, patient, and safety-aware. If we lived closer, we would definitely be class regulars. This is a not to be missed opportunity.

Our family took a glass plate cutting and designing class with Spencer on a rainy morning last week. It was the highlight of our vacation! Spencer is an excellent and patient teacher who was willing to answer every question we had. The studio setting is beautiful. Our daughter is already planning the next class she would take there if we were in the area ?. The plates have come out beautifully and are a lovely souvenir of our trip. Wholeheartedly recommend!
