Beginner Class in Flameworked Glass

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.

Awesome workshop and great instruction. Me and my wife loved it.

zen is an amazing place 2 become an artist or just look @ some amazing glass. DAVE & Josh are super skilled and knowledgeable.

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

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.

Very “cool” actually HOT!!!

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!

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

Nice place

It was an awesome experience. Being that it was my first time I was a little nervous. But luck was on my side because we had Austin helping us and explaining every step of the wonderful process. I was supper happy with my wine glass and so were my friends! Austin rocks !!! Give it a try …. you will not regret this amazing experience ❤️?

What an awesome experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone. So friendly and relaxed. Thank you for a wonderful experience (~);}

wicked fun and entertaining,

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!

Beautiful artistry!

Very nice place perfect for Glass Art the staff nice and friendly clean pleasant surroundings and Joshua was very helpful. I recommend this place .

We had a great time today making our own martini glasses. The owners were friendly and very knowledgeable, so the whole experience was a lot of fun. They also have really nice pieces for sale to accentuate your home. We’d highly recommend going there to anyone looking for something fun and different to do!

Absolutely, I had a great time. planning a group to return. Didn’t know what to expect, this totally exceeded anything I thought.

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

This place is absolutely amazing! My sister and I had a great time. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the whole process…. Not to mention hilarious! We laughed and shot one liners with Austin the whole time!! He was the coolest and was such a team player. He helped us create beautiful wine glasses, as well as awesome memories. (We made a bird!!) I would recommend this place to anyone!

We attended a wineglass workshop and had a great time. Everyone was very helpful and patient with us while we were figuring things out and soaking in all of the information. It made for a unique and fun girls afternoon out! Looking forward to a “cheers” with our new stemware!

We had a great time today. Staff was incredible and helpful! Thanks

Amazing people and atmosphere! If you love glass definitely go check out Zen!

This place is awesome. Austin is spectacular at his role. Loved this place. Went here for a class! Will be back!

Awesome studio!

Best Groupon in the Bay Area

Very cool shop

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

Josh Poll & David Walker did such an awesome job in honoring my brother! Had some beautiful pendants & a pocket piece made with cremations & some outstanding paper weights too. Can’t put into words what it feels like to have & only know I have felt a definite peace.

We had the best time. Great guys thanks

I Loved it! So much fun 😃

Awesome!!!!
My husband loved it!!!

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

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.

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!!!! 😁❤️

I <3 You………………………………………

The people were really nice and helpful. Making the glass work was a phenomenal experience that everyone should get to do at least once in their life time!!

The best places in the state for classes, camaraderie, and overall good glass vibes. Knowledgeable, friendly staff and a plenty of bench space. They also have a wonderful gallery full of beautiful work from tons of artists. Zen Glass really is a jewel of Florida.

We had a great knowledgable instructor

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.

Zen Glass is the BEST! The workshops are really fun with friends or solo. The beginner 9 hour course is awesome if you want to be a hobbyist (of the 15-week for commercial glass artists). Josh, Dave, Austin & Alex are fantastic teachers and talented artists. Highly recommended, the best place to work hot glass!

A great family environment!! Excellent food!! If you looking for great environment and food I would absolutely recommend Zen great restaurant!!

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.

What a great experience! The guys working there were super kind! Highly recommend!!

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

Great time!

Highly reccomend this place. Our instructor Dave made it very fun and relaxed. He was very eager to help and answer all our question and gave us enough space to have fun and be silly while providing a safe environment.

Absolutely had the best time making our own pipes! He said that was the most fun he’d had on a birthday! We most definitely will be back!!!

Awesome Place,Great People, I totally enjoyed meeting everyone there.
Awesome Place to learn Glass Blowing.

My 14 year old daughter has a hobby interest idea, and I am trying to help feed that idea/passion. Joshua was extremely helpful and informative. She will be back.

Super fun!!! The guys were patient with us and very helpful.

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…..

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.

Lots of fun,people friendly and helpful want to do it again

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

The class was Lots of fun. 😊

Great personalized experience. I learned a lot and had a blast. Josh is customer focused, witty and a pleasure to be coached by. I’ll be sharing and encouraging others to signup.

My husband has told every single person he’s spoken to since we left how amazing it this experience was! Josh, Austin and team make you feel right at home and let you create your very own masterpiece. We highly recommend!

So much fun! We would love to go back!

What a blast. My wife and I booked an hour appointment and it was quite a fun learning experience. We both made wine glasses. The shop was really cool and the staff were awesome. We can’t wait to do it again. Don’t miss out on this fun experience.

Amazing experience! I don’t think it’s possible to have a bad time here

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

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

I love this place

I went for the wine glass workshop and had a great time. I was solo so I had Josh’s full attention. I created a glass that I will enjoy for many years to come. I also bought a beautiful necklace for my mom’s birthday.

definitely recommend for a day out. nice date idea. staff was helpful and sociable! 🙂

Austin was amazing and very helpful. He made the class so much fun. We will definitely return for another

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!

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.

Fantastic experience with Josh Poll. Would highly recommend it! Can’t wait to see my piece.

Everybody was so nice and helpful. Had a blast. Everybody should try this at least once!

As a person who binge watched “Blown Away” in a day, this was a must. Austin was our instructor and he was amazing. Giving us little pointers and helping when needed. We each made a wine glass. We even had enough extra time to do a pendent. It was as awesome as I could have hoped for!! I would recommend anyone and everyone to this class.

Amazing experience!

Great time with a group of 14!

Phenom Glass Artists, beautiful Art
Beautiful People!

It was an awesome experience. Being that it was my first time I was a little nervous. But luck was on my side because we had Austin helping us and explaining every step of the wonderful process. I was supper happy with my wine glass and so were my friends! Austin rocks !!! Give it a try …. you will not regret this amazing experience ❤️🍷

Great fun. Instructors have a good sense of humor and patience galore!

So fun! Even I could make my own pendant😍

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!

Amazing artwork and so much more!

Great placeand atmosphere to learn

Lots of fun trying something new. New appreciation for glass blowing!! Awesome time and cool teachers that make it easier and you can’t do anything wrong.

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

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

What an awesome place, with a super low key, but awesome time!

I spent a few minutes with Josh telling him my background and what I wanted to get from the class. He took me through a few ‘basics’ and I was off and running. Fantastic experience and I look forward to coming back the next time I’m in town.

Feel right at home here…long live zen glass studios

Our family had so much fun creating our Glass
Our instructors were great!!
We took our teenage boys ~ the whole family had a great time
Thanks for some rainy day fun!!

We had such an amazing time at Zen glass studio!! Josh was patient and helpful! We will definitely be back!

Awesome we lobe to come here to create one of a kind pieces!😁

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

Bought a session through Groupon, had a great time…I think we might go back!

We had a great experience at Zen Glass! Josh was friendly and patient with us, talking us through the process. We can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend this as a fun activity, date night, birthday celebration, etc! We had no experience at all and we enjoyed ourselves!

For two ladies with introverted testing anxiety the Beginner’s Pendant workshop was absolutely wonderful Austin was a great help, always full of bounce and positive encouragement! Thank you for helping our belated birthday celebration go so smoothly!

Today my work partner in crime and I took our amazing customer service team for a class on pendant and bead making – they had so much fun! Josh & team were so patient with the 4 of us and really let us experiment and explore the artists inside. I was proud of both our girls – Karin and I need more practice heehee. This was 100% an awesome time and highly recommend it!!!

What a freaking blast! My mom bought this experience on Groupon for us (group of 4) and we had so much fun making the stems of our wine glasses! Austin was patient, super helpful, and did an excellent job not only explaining what we should be doing but also entertaining us. 10/10 would go again.

To say Zen Glass and it’s crew are great is a disservice to them. You can feel and see the passion they have for this as soon as you get there. Austin, who was teaching/showing my wife and I how to do everything was amazing. The gallery and store are amazing. The talent to make the things they make with glass is insane. My wife and I can’t wait to come back to try something else. Even our son asked if he could take a class with us next time. The experience was unforgettable.

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

Christian is amazing! My boyfriend and I did the valentines deal and we loved it! We made pint glasses. Can’t wait to pick them up Monday! I would suggest this place to everyone. It’s amazing.

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!

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

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

Great vibe love glass art and they are very helpful def will be back

Great atmosphere and very friendly instructors. Much more fun than we thought we were going to have. Thanks Austin!

We had a great time! Josh was super helpful. He explained everything and let us have at it. When we needed help he was there and both our projects came out great. Will definitely be back and hope our kids can join us when they visit.

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.

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

Excellent experience, it’s all about timing and patience…highly recommend it! Austin n Alex were great teachers.

If you are itching for an adventure, look no further! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. Josh went above and beyond to endure that we felt safe with social distancing, plenty of sanitizer and plexiglass between stations. He is very knowledgeable of his craft and helped us create exactly what we wanted. Already looking forward to our next trip

Great introduction to making glass! Staff was very welcoming.

Alex was amazing, very patient, very informative and very Zen!!!

The owners are wonderful and love teaching.

Very interesting place, great classes

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!

Just attended a wineglass workshop today. Super fun. The whole crew is wonderful and extremely helpful. Don’t be intimidated. They will help as much or as little as you want. Austin was super helpful.
Go! Have fun! And you get to wear goofy eye protection while you’re at at!

Fantastic place tucked away in the industrial arts district !

This is an AWESOME place with AWESOME staff! Josh and the bearded guy really made my first glass blowing experience rewarding and incredibly fun!! It was me and a group of my friends and wow! These guys have real talent and are able to teach a group of newbies the basics of glass art.
This is great place to gain new skills AND have a great time! Make a date at Zen Glass Studio with your loved one, a girls night out, etc.

Fabulous time, unbelievable great experience! Will definitely be taking another class.
