Flameworks

Not only is this a mom and pop run business but everyone involved seems to love what they do and they provide a killer quality product! The owner Kevin was helpful, friendly, and wants to expand and get his tubes in the hands of everyone. He took the time out of a clearly busy afternoon to help me with my request and I walked away feeling satisfied and well taken care of. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and very chill. I am happy to know there are people in this industry that care and are able to make the entire customer experience more than just a business transaction.
Top notch service, quality products, laid back productive atmosphere, oh yeah and lots of beautiful glass being turned into beautiful tubes. Thanks again guys.

I met one of the artists here, Micah Evans, at my own business, and began a friendship and business relationship not really knowing the caliber of his talent at glass works… but after realizing this guy was really cool, and having my own interest and limited experience in lampworking, I went to visit the studio, and HOLY CRAP!!! there are HEAVY HITTERS hanging here… the studio is amazing, the vibe is so chill and fun, and everyone that Ive ever met working here is super cool… they periodicaly have workshops, guest teachers, and other glass world celebrity… for a time they did day rental, which I miss partaking in, as they nolonger do it… It would have cost them a star on my review, if I didnt TOTALY understand the cause (ask them)… but if it ever comes back Ill be there… as for their product? OUTSTANDING… I am not a pipe smoker, but the pipes are EXQUISITE! And the sculpture outstandingly fine… CHECK THEM OUT! And if you buy glass somewhere else… ask where it came from… if its SUPER COOL its probably from flameworks

This is a very cool shop run by very cool people.
I first found out about them when living on riverside and they were right across the street from my apartment. I was very impressed by the glass art they had on display, and was very happy to learn they had very unique hand blown glass pipes which I was in the market for as I needed a gift for a friend. They have since moved the shop (strangely close to another of my former dwellings) to provide more space for the artists to work, I think. Last I had heard they were working on a gallery close by as the shop was mostly home for their glass blowing supplies, which they also sell.
I have been back since about 10 times or more and definitely recommend this place if you are into glass art, need a super nice piece or a gift for a friend.

This is a really cool glass blowing studio and gallery. I’m not generally an impulse buyer, but I wasn’t able to leave here without picking up a couple of items. I’m now the proud owner of a multi colored shot glass and a glass pen! They have a variety of blown glass and will even take special orders.
The gallery is located just off of Riverside accross from the Joes Crab Shack. Check their web site for directions as it is best if you come in from S. Congress. This place is definitely worth checking out.
