Glass Academy, Dearborn

Girlfriend and I took a class here and we enjoyed it so much we signed up for another class experience two weeks later! So far we have made two different styles of paperweights and plan on trying more classes in the future. The experience was absolutely outstanding! We received a tour of the studio, got to browse the Batch Gallery and do some shopping, and took our lessons. The instructors were incredibly fun, informative, and helpful each time. The whole atmosphere of the Glass Academy is just awesome. Truly unique and memorable, I would highly recommend!

I attended their March 24th Happy Hour event with two friends for my birthday. We had a great time! Matt was a great host, and Chris & Jake helped us make some really stunning pieces. The classes are a bit pricey, but these are unique, handmade glass pieces; not mass produced at all. And the experience was a full evening event, so thinking of it as both entertainment and a keepsake to commemorate the evening makes it feel worth the splurge. Plus, if you get a group together, you could put together a private group class. Imagine you and 6 friends having fun laughing and making such a unique memory. They have ready-made pieces for purchase in the gallery that fit any type of budget from cute little magnets to stunning art pieces and everything in between (my friends both purchased multiple pieces). I will be sure to come back, because I need a slug. 😆
