Top Arts organizations in St. Petersburg, United States

Harry did a phenomenal demonstration of glass blowing. He is incredibly talented; amazing craftsmanship. The people in the shop....not so much. Chinese guy was extremely rude. I missed a good portion of our tour because he set my item aside and refused to hand it to me even thought it was paid for and I had my receipt. When he finally wrapped it up, I thought he was going to break it. Then the woman taking payment asked if I had a problem and that wrapping items takes time. She didn't realize that others after me had already had their item handed to them. I thought about buying additional items but, now, after that....nope. A solid 5 for Harry and the person working with him. Not so much for other staff.

Nots of great glass pieces for sale. They also have glass working demonstrations at the top of the hours 1-4 PM (I'd recommend verifying). The show was about 30 minutes and was an interesting look at the process.

Absolutely one of the best experiences of my life! Tim was a fabulous instructor, so thorough and patient. I had a blast! Thank you all for such a wonderful experience. I would recommend this to everyone.

Being able to experience glass blowing up close and personal is probably one of the coolest things I’ve watched to date! This is your sign to go if you haven’t or are debating.

We originally went to see the Chihuly Collection across the street and discovered you can attend the free glass blowing demo with the admission ticket. And they have demos every hour on the hour so it was easy and obvious to go.

There were two glass blowers in the demonstration- one doing the actual heavy lifting and the other explaining what was going on. Glass blowing is an entire art of its own and it’s so fascinating. I thought they did a great job educating the crowd on different methods and why you do things certain ways.

You can then shop around and purchase other glass pieces made by the very glass blowers who were in the demo. It’s really such a cool operation and I’m really glad I accidentally stumbled upon it. It’s so different from most experiences you could find.

Really great to experience this up close and the instructors were really great at explaining everything step by step. My little (9) really enjoyed watching this come to life start to finish so I would recommend this to anyone wanting to expose their kids to a unique form of art.

The glass blowing demo was included in the Chihuly museum tickets. Very cool to see the guys work. Really made me appreciate Chihuly’s work. The little shop upfront had some pretty interesting pieces for purchase.

Pretty cool glass work, but definitely on the pricier side. It's great for almost treating like a gallery to see some unique glass pieces. It's really neat to know that it is locally made because some of the sculptures created are ridiculously done by some talented folks! Be careful though because if you break something you're liable to pay for it.

They also do glass blowing demos on the hour. If you purchase admission to Chihuly Collection around the corner, you get this for free and access to the Morean Art Gallery as well!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the creation of such beautiful art in glass. I only wish I had seen the demonstration before I went to see the Chihuly Collection, it added a whole new perspective of what goes into the creation of these works of glass art. Highly recommended!
