TESTIMONALS
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 great experience! The guys working there were super kind! Highly recommend!!
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.
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.
Kind hearted education. Welcoming and all around awesome people, hope to spend more time there, so much to learn!
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.
This place is awesome. We did a great easy beginner project where we heated up some glass, added color to it, and shaped it how we wanted. The amazing staff there then turned our amorphous works of art into functional stemware. A very neat experience. I can’t recommend enough.
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!
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!
Fantastic place tucked away in the industrial arts district !
My wife and I participated in a pendant workshop on October 15, 2016 with instructor, Katy. It was fun to learn how glass pendants are made and to try to make a few pendants. We were able to practice with combining different colors of glass and also trying to make different shapes. Katy was great as an instructor! I have a lot of respect for the process of glass making.
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!
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!
This was a fantastic experience for my 13 year old. He’s always wanted to try glass blowing and I’m very impressed with this studio. Nice area to sit out back. Would fully recommend this place.
Thank you Austin!! We really had fun today!!
A great family environment!! Excellent food!! If you looking for great environment and food I would absolutely recommend Zen great restaurant!!
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.
Alex was amazing, very patient, very informative and very Zen!!!
zen is an amazing place 2 become an artist or just look @ some amazing glass. DAVE & Josh are super skilled and knowledgeable.
The class was Lots of fun.
Josh is a great instructor! He took his time with us and made the session fun. Definitely recommend him and his studio. I have a new found respect for this art. It’s amazing!

Great place to learn or try working with glass. Amazing staff.
Great guys. Knowledgeable and friendly. Real artists that share their craft.
Great experience. Austin was FANTASTIC! We just finished less than an hour ago so pics have yet been posted. Highly recommend.
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.
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!
Super hands on and fun, did not feel controlled or rushed. We had a great time!
A great place for a cool weekend activity! We had a blast!!
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
What a blessing to have a place like this here! I can’t stop coming back to make things. Everyone is friendly and the shop is full of such wonderful art. This is the kind of thing you can bring anyone to do and they will have a good time. I’m hooked!

If you are itching for an adventure, look no further! I cannot say enough positive things about this experience.

Beautiful People!
Great fun place to learn about working with glass
Had a great time!!!

Me an my wife had a blast!??
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
Absolutely the best! Super fun, super relaxed atmosphere.
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 ❤️🍷
Absolutely incredible experience!!! So perfect for date night or company team building…so much fun!!
Josh is my wife’s cousin. Amazing man & an amazing artist.
Absolutely wonderful place to see and try something new! Our family of four had a great experience and would do it again in a heartbeat! My wife and I made wine glasses and our children made their own abstract art. We couldn’t have had a better time! Thank you Dave for an amazing afternoon! We will see you the next time we’re in Florida!
Great introduction to making glass! Staff was very welcoming.
Thanks so much to Christian for making the ornament workshop so easy! They have some fabulous works of art in their gallery and the service is superb! Can’t wait to see how our hand blown ornaments came out. I’m grateful to Christian for explaining how the color combos might look. Will be back!
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
Great group of people! Awesome experience!
The vibe you get from this place amazing. The people are all so welcoming. Great community and area.
From the moment I set foot in the hot shop I was treated like family and put at ease. Weirdie and Alex are 2 of the coolest human beings and made my wife and I feel like the glass was never unmanageable. My wife uses her wine glass all the time and I gave my pendant to my daughter who adores it.
The experience was so great in fact, I’ve signed up for beginner classes, bought my own gear and plan to keep coming back and doing this as a hobby.
Bring your kids, bring your significant others, bring your parents. Glass is fun to play with and it’s one of those things that’s easy to pick up and hard to put down! Zen Glass Studio is the place to make it happen. I am so glad I found them!
I made 2 wine glasses. Austin was my instructor an he rocked it. Will be going back to do more.
Beautiful glass work!
This was so fun! Austin was great and took so much time with us. I can’t wait to come back and do it again.
I love this place
We had a wonderful experience! Austin was so helpful and fun to work with! It was truly a fun experience and will definitely come back to make more pieces!
It was so much fun.. My husband and I had a great time
An awesome experience for everyone. My family and I loved everything about it. Everyone there was helpful and patient. We recommend to everyone.
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!!!! 😁❤️
Fabulous time, unbelievable great experience! Will definitely be taking another class.
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!
See glass blowing in action! Learn how to blow your own beer or wine glass!
Forget painting a plate… Play with fire!
everyone there is friendly and helpful. Love that I get to create something with my bare hands ??? its fun
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.
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.
Tons of fun

Had a great time with hubby and friends, thanks Austin!
We had a great time today. Staff was incredible and helpful! Thanks

Excellent experience, it’s all about timing and patience…highly recommend it! Austin n Alex were great teachers.
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.
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.
Fantastic experience with Josh Poll. Would highly recommend it! Can’t wait to see my piece.
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!
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.
Awesome workshop, Our instructor Austin was amazing
Austin is a person who is real to the teaching of …” people listen and watch … !”
it was informative and exciting..
Austin was fun and attentive..!
I am attending another appointment..!
Quite an Artsy area! The instructor (Austin) was awesome. Had a few works on display and making a wine glass was such a learning experience!
The class was very interesting, and much harder than I expected! But our teacher was great and assisted us all the way. Definitely would do it again!
We had an absolute blast! Austin was an incredible teacher so much so we went back for a second class to drive him nuts. We made several gorgeous pieces and no one got burned. Thanks again Austin you’re “AWSOME Austin!”
Wes, Jasmine, Jill
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.

The class was Lots of fun. 😊
Awesome studio!
AWESOME! So fun and great teaching by Josh and Co
Great placeand atmosphere to learn
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.

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!
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!!!
Best glass studio in St Pete
Excellent customer service good-hearted people
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).

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!
