Zen Glass Studio

Austin, Josh and Dave are so cool and helpful, they made us feel comfortable. This was the most fun day! Such great artists and knowledgable. Book your class NOW!!

Super hands on and fun, did not feel controlled or rushed. We had a great time!

Did a class here for my birthday and it was so fun! The instructors explained how to do and were readily available to assist, but really let you get hands on. They even took pictures for us while we were making our wine glasses. Definitely a fun date night!

There was a Groupon offered for a workshop that I took advantage of with my boyfriend. We came in to make a glass pendent. Josh was the artist that worked with us. He was very informative and also allowed for us to have space to work on our pendent. He intervened when he needed to and made the experience enjoyable. I am looking forward to coming back and learning more!

Loved our experience there, we went as a group and some did wine glasses. I did pendants and love them!!!!

My kids had lost their father a couple of years back. Josh at Zen Glass made a wonderful collection of custom glass figurines, incorporating their dad's ashes. He was careful to send updates and make sure they were exactly as I wanted through the whole process. Josh is an amazing artist.

Had a great and fun experience, very welcoming. We are definitely going again!

Love Zen Glass. I will be coming back. So much to see in the gallery and they have a garden out back with plants for sale. I will have to take a class very soon.

My girlfriend and I went to one of their wineglass making classes and it was a blast. The instructors are very supportive and knowledgeable about their craft. I felt like the prices were fair and we did not feel rushed. Lots of positive reinforcement during the process, and they even offered to take some pictures of us while we were working which was really nice. We will definitely be returning.

Pros- easy to get to, equipment and tools worked.
Cons- lousy instructor with no patience, humor or guidance. He took over everyone's project within minutes and just did them himself without letting students participate or recommend what they wanted to do. Only left over limited selection of glass colors to choose from. Upon signing up and paying for class it was advertised to make beer or wine glass or pendant. When we got there I was informed we would only be making wine glass stems and had to pick out a pre-made base and glass cup. Those selections were extremely limited. I was left to choose a small wine base and big craft beer glass. No way I can drink out of it without a small breeze pushing it over. Out of the hour glass I probably was in control of my project for less than 5 minutes tops. I was there on a date otherwise I would have flipped on instructor. Not fun at all, glass in unusable. Matter of fact my wine/beer glass has a 2.5 inch base and stands almost 15 inches tall! Too top heavy to use and I wasn't allowed to make suggestions. I was literally told "no, you're done" when I told him I didn't want it so tall. Horrible experience, not worth the money or time.

if there were a way to give Zen glass 100 Stars yeah, that would be my rating. Everybody is very knowledgeable helpful, positive, accommodating, and encouraging. And it's just so much fun! Love it!

All kinds of beautiful artwork in glass!!! Love that you can take classes there!!! Will be doingvthst in the future.

This was such a GOOD time! Josh was a great instructor and was very supportive of the non-descript blobs that were made! After all, we ended up with cool wine glasses, tree ornaments, paperweight and an awesome charm...Thank you Zen Glass, we WILL be back!

What a great experience. The staff was so friendly and made it a really fun day learning something new. Would highly recommend checking them out.

My friends and I just took a class on how to make our own wineglass. Austin and Josh were so knowledgeable and patient. If you are looking for new fun way to spend time with yours friends and incorporate your creative side. Checkout Zen Glass Studios and ask for Austin or Josh.

Very cool experience in the wine glass class. Jash was amazing and very helpful in making the experience great. I will definitely be back!

At first I thought wat just the stem, thats all. Much respect. That stuff isnt easy and honestly im glad I didnt have to do more than that for the first try. Still got to go pick up the finished glass after its tempering time

Awesome artists, glass gallery & showcases, and walk-in studio where you can learn some glass working skills and make your very own wineglass! I had a blast!

Did a date night and made wine glasses. The class was really fun and the instructors were great. Made us feel very comfortable while learning how to make the stem with the pieces of glass and the fire.

Fun place and the artist has the BEST personality. My bowl turned out awesome

An amazing experience!!! I created my own wine glass.

Great group of people. Do yourself a favor and book a class to make a wine glass or lessons for this great art.

This was an amazing experience. Austin and Zack are amazing instructors. They made everything safe and fun. I m definitely going to come back when I travel back here and do this again. Thank you guys so much for the amazing energy and experience

What an awesome class I made more pendants in instructor was totally awesome very patient and hands-on I can t wait to receive my Pendants Through the mail I will be back for another class thanks again

Great guys, made a memory in glass that will last forever.

It was alot of fun. Used Groupon otherwise would have been very expensive.

Did a group class with the whole family while on vacation, was a wonderful time. The artists were friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable, would recommend to anyone who wants to try something new. The gallery was great as well with many varied and beautiful pieces, that were affordable.

See glass blowing in action! Learn how to blow your own beer or wine glass!
Forget painting a plate... Play with fire!

I made 2 wine glasses. Austin was my instructor an he rocked it. Will be going back to do more.

do not miss this place while visiting St Pete. the free show is awesome!

What a great experience, new and fun. Austin is a great teacher!

Fantastic place tucked away in the industrial arts district !

Created the cake topper for our wedding. It was a true work of art. What a great studio for unique artwork and custom glass art. Thank you for such great talent

My husband and I really enjoyed making wine glasses at Zen Studios. It was more than what I expected ...so cool. So interesting to learn the process. The base and goblet were already made, we got to make the stem. Austin was a great teacher. Thanks so much!

My wife and I had an amazing time we highly suggest everyone try it.

My daughter had the BEST time during the 1 hour pendant making session! Austin was a fantastic teacher - very patient, encouraging and helpful. They have a gift shop if you're looking for a unique gift. They have all the COVID safety measures in place, too. It's a 2+ hour drive for us but very worth it and we'll be back!

I did the "Make your own wine glass" class with a friend and it was so much fun! They give great instructions to get you started and help you out along the way. I will definitely be back for more.

So much fun! My friends and I did a wine glass class and it was great! They let us bring our own food and drinks! :-) Definitely going back! Ask for Katy!

I have literally realized lifelong dreams inside of these walls. Everyone inside is totally chill and helpful. Also all are amazing artist. If you are looking for glassblowing instruction or a new piece for your collection, stop in and tell Josh that I sent you.

Lot of fun, ended up with a Groupon deal so it was about $60 a person for the wine glass class. Lasts an hour, unique experience

I've been taking the beginner glass blowing program for 5 weeks now and have to say is a great place to learn. Josh,Dave, Katie, and Kyle are super knowledgeable. I gotta say if you've ever had a interest in learning glass this is the place to go,very reasonably priced and they're third Thursdays with free open torches front 7 to 11pm are a great way to spark your flame for this superior artform and top notch learning facility.

As always, great!
The people are amazingly nice, friendly and informative. I always enjoy myself when I go. They have classes you can take and glass art for sale.

Loved it,definitely recommend,they were awesome accommodating all our guests,pieces came out awesome!

Great gallery of glass art crafted by local artists. Also a great place to learn how to create your own glass art.

I had a lot of fun with the make your own experience

Fun experience! Patience and encouragement from instructors Dave and Austin. They did a great job. My husband s quotes: I thought this would be way more boring and that was freakin awesome! Ha! Now we have two new favorite wine glasses and great memories!

It was a good experience, still for the price you pay for the experience I would expect a bit more. The safety glasses are old,pretty worn out. I don t think the glasses were even sanitized or cleaned .That was one of the stuff me and my girlfriend didn t like. Please new glasses are needed and a safe cleaning station for the glasses and a appropriate place to store the glasses too. Hope this get corrected!

Great guys. Knowledgeable and friendly. Real artists that share their craft.

Absolutely awesome. So much fun and so friendly. A very unique experience that I would highly suggest for date day or a group of friends. One of the coolest activities in St Pete.

We loves it. A an all new experience the was so much fun. And the finished product is.so beautiful. The staff and instructors are friendly and easy to talk to as well.....

Fun experience. Played with the melting glass to create the stem of a wine glass.

Great open lampwork studio. My introduction to the method. Super staff

Great place to learn or try working with glass. Amazing staff.

The instructors are all nice and helpful, loved it would definitely do this again!

I went today and had a private class with Josh!!!! And Josh was there all the way! I m not sure I have enough talent to master this but it was an awesome experience and I may try to make a pendant before I leave!!! Thanks again for a great time.....

My wife and I used a groupon there. The instructor was awesome and he helped us create our wine glasses. The shop was great and he gave us a tour of their show room. I would definitely recommend it.

Great experience, easy to follow along for first timers. Real "Zen" :) vibe. Good times, thanks again to Josh and the guys!

David is a great designer and glass artisan! He created and installed a wall of glass in out home down in Venice. Such s nice guy, it is a pleasure to do business with Zen Glass Studio. Highly reccomend.

Such a great experience and would highly recommend! We did a wine glass making workshop and had a blast! Thought I d be intimidated by working with a torch but Austin (one of the artists at the shop and the teacher for our workshop) made us feel super comfortable and made sure we were having fun the entire time! This is great activity for date night or even as a group event. We are most definitely going back! Thanks for the awesome time Austin!!!!

Austin and Josh taught us how to make wine glasses. They were very informative, helpful and fun. Great experience and would definitely recommend it! We will be back!

Extremely personable folks and very cool arts. Definitely recommend to stop by!

This place is class!!! David patiently guided me for my workshop. So much fun!

Update: Picked up my paperweight today! Looks amazing! Highly recommend trying this out!
