Important Reminders

- We are a non-smoking facility.
- Children must be accompanied at all times. 

- If you make an appointment to blow glass you are paying for an experience! No two pieces are alike and customers should expect variances in shape and size, especially with glass flowers.

- Your glass piece must slowly cool in the annealer for 24 hours before you take it home. The Arts Center offers shipping for certain items for those who are unable to return in 24 hours to pick up their work.- We pack our products with extra care and love... however, damage during shipping is not our responsibility.
