Walked into Hot Sand to witness them finishing up a vase to which they then added two turtle doves to it. It was a beautiful piece!
I never ever write reviews but:
Despite all that, I'm giving it 2 stars because my husband and my friend and I think the prices were a little much. Every little thing added up. I made a bubble which was shaped into a vase. I had to pay extra for each color (kind of understandable but not for $7.50 per color), pay for each twist of color (another $7.50), and then I had to pay for the flattening of the vase bottom ($10! For just taking a wood paddle and putting up against the hot glass).
The bubble sizes are small, large, and XL. My friend chose a small and I chose a large upon the suggestion of the glass blower so my design would show better.
So many beautiful pieces being sold there and if you take a walk in class, you end up with a beautiful piece that you made yourself.
While we did not purchase anything, getting to see them blow glass right in front of you is mesmerizing. Just wish their prices were a bit more affordable.
My wife and I both had the chance to make drinking glasses, and it was a brilliant experience! They clearly explained each of the steps and it was fascinating to see the pieces take shape. Can't wait to use our unique glasses!
Very very upset about the prices. Although the pieces did turn out beautifully....not worth the money.
Got my glass back and my niece and nephew loved making theirs and now we all have glasses from a great experience!
HERE'S WHAT IRKED ME ENOUGH TO WANT TO GIVE A ONE STAR REVIEW: my large bubble turned out to be $68 PLUS tax. My friend's small bubble was $48 plus tax. When picking up the pieces, my friend's small vase and my large vase were the same size. So I just paid like $30 (if you include the tax) extra for the same size piece.
