They also sell glass jewelry hand-made by several local artists, and sometimes the shop owner will even set up a blow torch and make hot-glass beads right there in front of you; it's very cool to watch. I've bought several glass pendants here for my artsy wife and they are some of her favorite pieces of jewelry.
This place also offers classes in making stained glass, mosaics, fused glass, and bead-making. My wife convinced me to take a glass bead-making class here with her and, although making jewelry isn't really something I had set out to do in life, I have to admit that I had a blast. It was quick to learn, fun to do, and I'm proud of the pieces that I made there. I'd recommend the bead-making class to anybody, and my wife and I definitely plan on taking more classes here in the future.
