Such a great experience! Our instructor was amazing, and our finished pieces arrived in perfect condition. The gallery is full of beautiful and whimsical glass for sale, and the shop itself is beautiful and clean. I will definitely be going back in the future.
This place is awesome. You can purchase amazing glass pieces from local artists, participate in glass blowing experiences to make something on your own or even rent out a portion or their space for an event.
What a fantastic place to visit either to browse around, see artists in action, or find holiday gifts. It comes out of nowhere from Delmar Boulevard just east of Forest Park. You enter from the east side of the building where there is also pretty ample parking. Immediately in front of the studio there are several spots but really you shouldn't park there. Inside they have a selection of cables from various artists showcasing their craft as well as a separate room with a number of other items. You can find everything from ornaments to Starcatchers to basis to place and even serving Ware. The entire facility is impeccably clean and there is hand sanitizer and face mask should you need one. Staff are always friendly and willing to help. You can arrange for shipping and safely protected boxes And they will handle putting the items in the mail for you as well. If you are looking for something unique, especially as a gift such as an anniversary or retirement then definitely check this place out!
I signed my 3 teenage boys up for the sampler class. Due to the dates being inconvenient, they allowed them to take the class on a chosen day and they were able to receive special attention.
Tyler was awesome! Great experience! A definite must do again
Amazing place to experience glass. You can watch or learn or make all in one spot!
My wife and I had our wedding here and we got sooo many compliments on the Venue. Loved working with them and we plan on going back just to see the amazing stuff they make there!
Thanks TDGF for making the event amazing! We both seriously appreciate it!
Took their Stein experience class with my fiamce, and it was awesome. Would recommend it to anybody looking for a fun and unique date idea.
We had a great evening at Third Degree Glass. The demonstrations of glass blowing are always a hit. The Mariachi band was terrific. I'm sure the beads i made are wonderful. It was a party from start to finish.
If I could do more than 5 stars I would. I would just like to thank Rachel, Tracey, Aaron, and Greg for making my mothers 60th birthday party a success. You all were extremely professional from the beginning and the space was set up beautifully. Everyone talked about how cool the bartenders were (Aaron and Greg). I just want you to know that I appreciate everything you all did for me in just a weeks notice. I was about to give up on throwing her a party and then I found you all! So from my siblings and myself, we just want to say thank you and we appreciate you and this is the beginning of many more events for us.
Tracey the event coordinator, did an absolutely amazing job orchestrating the fiesta rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding. She was so easy to work with I felt las though I've known her all of my life. Tracey's response time in getting back to me was either immediately , or by end of day.
She was great with suggestions and went out of her way to accommodate me with my suggestions. Aaron the event manager for the evening was also amazing. He brought my floor plan to life. When I walked into the room it took my breath away. It looked absolutely beautiful! Aaron also was also the bartender for the evening. His genuine kind spirit and great smile was an added plus for the event.
Thank you both Tracey and Aaron for making my rehearsal dinner a night to remember.

We had our wedding reception here on Saturday. It was a perfect day! We had a glass blowing demo during cocktail hour and everyone raved about it! Its not a typical wedding reception site which is why we picked it and people could not stop talking about how cool it was!
We worked with Rachel the event planner and Tracy was our night of manager! Both were extremely helpful and guaranteed our night was amazing. The pricing was incredibly reasonable. We had an open bar and the bartenders were great! They have this awesome patio with a fire pit which they light for you if you provide the wood. They keep all the glass pieces on display and you can even rent them for centerpieces.
Third Degree was definitely a unique wedding venue and all of our 150 guests including me and my new husband LOVED it!
My siblings and I hosted a surprise 70th birthday party at Third Degree Glass Factory for my mom. The staff and the facility was exceptional! We were very pleased with our experience.
Taken several classes here! Wonderful instructors and a lot of fun!
When my husband and I were searching for a wedding venue, we were referred to Third Degree Glass Factory. Once we went in to tour the venue with Rachel McCalla, the Event Director, our search was over! We immediately fell in love with it! Not only was it an amazing and unique venue, the friendly staff made the entire experience seamless for us! There was clear communication on pricing and payment options, the different options on glass blowing demonstrations, and everything in between! Rachel and staff answered my many questions throughout the year-long wedding planning process, and I have to give them all the credit for our PERFECT wedding day!
Such an awesome place....awesome people...and awesome experience. Thanks!
Third Friday event was amazing! A great event space and exposure to new artists was fantastic. Salt and smoke food truck, live demos... We went to check it out but will come back next month to try out the interactive experience! I'm so grateful they open their doors to the public in this way!
Great facility. You can have a glass blowing party. Responsibly priced Christmas ornaments. Lots of unique inexpensive gifts.
This place is great! I took a few classes here and now I go in once a week and work on whatever small projects I've come up with. I'm in the flame studio and I love it. The whole building hosts third Friday's and those are fun and a nice way to show off the cool things being created at this studio. Everyone who works there is very open and happy to answer any and all questions anyone might have.
We had the pleasure of attending a third Friday event here and we were not disappointed!!
We arrived 15 minutes before 10pm which is when they close! We were lucky enough to try some samples of the brewers that were still there for the Stein theme!
Although I didn t purchase a stein, I did find a most beautiful rainbow glass egg made by a 9 year old 4th grade that I scored for a bargain price of $15!
I recommend coming here earlier though so you enjoy the evening festivities & glass blowing demonstrations!
Rachel's is the consummate professional! Due to her expertise and attention detail, we celebrated my daughters dream wedding at TDGF! It was the perfect venue for a wedding reception, with an excellent staff.
Where do i begin? Okay. i had already been to Third Degree before for experiences as well as buying pre-made items. However i bought a stein-making instruction for my sister and I as a belated 50th birthday present (hers). I already loved it there but really wanted my sister to find out how fun it could be. I apologize i do not remember the names of the two ladies who assisted our instructors. However they were kind, helpful and really helped make it a fun experience. Most of all, a BIG, Huge shout out and THANK YOU to Jeremy and Tyler, our instructors. They were helpful, kind, and very generous with their support and encouragement. If money were no object and knowing they'd be a part of every experience i'd come back much more often. I will come back as often as i can and i do encourage anyone to experience Third Degree in some form or another. It is well worth the price and it's totally a one-of-a-kind lifetime event you've just gotta try!!
We came for the third Friday activities and we're not disappointed. Lots of great activities, food, and even ends with a fire show at the end!
Lovely variety of glass art on display and the ability to also watch pieces or glass art being made by their local artists. Classes are available too and they have a summer camp glass art for kids to try out.
A few weeks ago our 11-year old grandson visited from California and attended a week long glass blowing and artwork class (via CASA) at the Third Degree Glass Factory. At the end they packaged all of his new artwork and shipped it to CA for us. Our daughter wrote: "Yes really well packaged- it arrived in an enormous box with tons of padding. And they required a signature for delivery to prevent it from going to the wrong address and being lost or stolen. It was thoughtfully handled."
Hooray for an exceptional week of artwork instruction, outstanding teachers, and for superior followup in shipping his new treasures home.
Very helpful Elizabeth went out of her way to help
Thanks
I had such a great time, learned lots and look forward to working with the glass again. Mike Moran is a wonderful teacher.
Pretty neat buisness. The wife and myself had fun making our little project.
Awesome experience! My daughter, a friend and I signed up to make an ornament and two paperweights. We had a great time! I've watched glass blowing demonstrations before, but never imagined I'd get to do it myself. I highly recommend the Third Degree Glass Factory for a super-fun, unique experience!
My wife and I recently had our wedding here. They created an amazing glass sculpture while our guests got to watch. The bartenders and sculptor were super friendly, and our glass piece looks amazing. My wife also says that Tracy was also amazing (she made some awesome drinks, too!) Thanks for letting us host our wedding here!
Incredible new space with beautiful art glass by many artists with friendly competent staff.
Very cool Halloween themed event and glass blowing demos. Amazing place to tour in St. Louis!
Very impressed with the glass blowing demonstration. We were there for a private event and wondered why more people don't rent it out. A top notch venue.
Wow! Just wow. I love your open house events. Love to watch the artists creating amazing things and explaining how as they go along. Fantastic place!
We had our held our wedding (both ceremony and reception) at Third Degree, and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. The event staff were a joy to work with, and helped execute our vision for our wedding day to perfection. We're so glad we chose them!
Jeremy was awesome and made our experience in the shop fun, informative and relaxed. We will definitely be back. We can't wait to see our finished pieces!
I went here for a Holiday party for work. A very interesting space. The glass artwork is spectacular! Watching the glass being blown was an added bonus to a fun event.
Well worth the visit. Third Friday us a good introduction to what Third Degree is all about.
Excellent place to learn all types of glass art. I took a lampwork bead, button and marble class from guest artist Heather Trimlett. Wonderful experience. One of the best work shops I've attended. Facility and staff are helpful and fun! Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to learn. They have a gallery and events center, too!
Third Degree is a fantastic venue in an up and coming area of Delmar. There is a gallery/venue space as well as a large glass blowing, bead and kiln workshop. I've had the opportunity to go to several classes at the glass factory and the instructors are all top notch. I got the opportunity to make my own glass cup from start to finish and it was a really rewarding experience. If I had more time I would seriously consider apprenticing there. Glass craft is just that much fun. They also put on events called "Third Fridays" where they open up the shop to let anyone come watch the master glass blowers practice their craft. There are usually food trucks and other performers. It is a BLAST!
Loved the sampler class! Instruction and projects he eat for beginners!
