Mark Payton Glass Center @ The Glassworks Bldg, Louisville

This was an incredible experience! Although the website to make an appointment is not very user friendly, PLEASE do not let that deter you from visiting this amazing location! Call Mark or Jennifer to get information about how to make a one of a kind gem. We happened to walk in and lucked out that they had an opening, but I would recommend calling first. They will tell you all you need to know. Prices are very fair, and there is no time limit on how long it takes to make your piece. I told them when I left that I will come back every time I visit Louisville. This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid because my great grandfather was a glass blower, so although you don’t actually do glass blowing, learning a tiny bit of this craft was a dream come true! Do yourself a favor, and enjoy an hour or so with a true artist, take home a souvenir, and learn something that you will not learn from the average person. I can’t wait to go back!

Had an awesome time blowing glass with Mark!! I accidentally got our date wrong but he was able to fit us in while we were there! It was so much fun and he is so knowledgeable about the art! I thought pricing was just right for the pieces we did and I can’t wait to pick them up!!
