Prairie Dog Glass

I’m 8 and I loved blowing glass. We made a total of 5 pieces. I made 4 and my mom made 1. I made a chili, a heart, a flower, and a bowl. My mom made a paperweight. To tell you the truth it was burning hot in there. I have two favorite things that I got to do. The first thing was dip the clearglass into little pieces of colored glass. The second thing was that I got to take pictures of my mom making her piece. I hope that we come to Santa Fe again some day so me and my mom can do more glass blowing. I hope when you go and visit prairie dog glass you will have as much as we did with Patrick, the instructor.
P. S. Keep calm and make glass.

Such a fun day! We wanted to have a girls day out in Santa Fe… It was my friend’s 30^th bday and we kicked it off with glass blowing at Prairie Dog Glass! We couldn’t have made a better choice! Friendly staff from the moment I booked the reservation all the way through to when we picked up our beautiful creations– a vase for me, a light fixture for another friend, and a glass mug for another. We had amazing service, great instructors and had an overall unforgettable time! If it’s wintertime, dress warm, it gets chilly in the shop!

We went on a couple day vacation in Santa Fe. We used Unilocal to choose our activities. This was the best thing we did.

Ira was the most patient teacher. My hubby and I loved our experience. It was very easy to book with Margo, and she made sure our art work arrived in one piece.

Awesome experience. We were in the area foe the Balloon Fiesta in ABQ and decided to spend some time in Santa Fe. Great girls weekend. I would highly recommend this hands on experience. We booked 2 hours for 4 of us and that was perfect. We made 9 items.
Highly recommend knowing what you want to do prior to your session for best use of time.

Seriously me and my sisters had the Best time. Everywhere we travel we try to fit in something off the beaten track and this was the Best experience we have done. As many times I have been to Santa Fe with hubby and friends I never imagine I missed so many years spending time at Prairie Dog Glass creating the most incredible works of art. Patrick was outstanding understanding our visions and color preference, Pat was so much fun and helpful when he felt you needed guidance and let you have more independence when he felt you were comfortable.
I will most definitely be back with my friends and would love to have my husband try. It was worth every dollar.
My tip: be prepared on what you want to create before hand and listen to your instructor closely, then have fun
I would recommend for Girls weekends and Families. Pat works so well with everyone.

We had a great time making our own glass art pieces while on vacation. Excellent experience and the pieces are pretty good too, if I do say so myself!

This was a great time! My husband and I made chilies and a paper weight. Pat and his crew are really friendly and I would recommend this to all my friends.

We stopped by here today to inquire about any room for a class over the next couple of days. The guy there (Pat) said how about now and thus the adventure began. My wife and I have travelled all over the world and the hour and half we spent here learning to blow glass ranks at the top of our list of experiences. We made three pieces each: four cups, a sphere paper weight and a chili pepper. Pat was very informative, helpful and empowering — you really felt like you knew what you were doing and the pieces turned out great. This was worth every penny we spent and I tend to be pretty tight with money so that is saying something.

I’m creating this review to uncover a buried treasure. I hope in doing so Chris Donnelly and all his friends at Prairie Dog Glass get the attention and support from the Unilocal Community that they so richly deserve.
Prairie Dog Glass is buried inside a place called Jackalope Marketplace in Santa Fe New Mexico.
If you have always dreamed of participating in Blowing Glass but have absolutely no experience, this is definitely a wonderful place to go. Blowing glass has been on my Boyfriend’s bucket list for years. He and I get very little time away together (as I am a single mother of 3 and he runs his own business) so time is precious to us and not something to be wasted. Thus I did my research before we left and Chris responded quickly to my inquiry (even though he was getting married that week!) and answered all my questions. For $ 150 my boyfriend got a one-​on-​one lesson in glass blowing and walked away with the experience he had always dreamed of in a Hot Shop. Chris was more than accommodating in asking us what we wanted to create and what colors we had in mind. He stepped in when things got tricky so we could come away with a finished piece to show our friends but still allowed my Boyfriend lots of hands on experience.
$ 150 might sound like a lot of money to some of you… but sometimes dreams cost a little bit more than what you would spend for routine fun… Chris let me take all the pictures I wanted of the entire process and in doing so both Boyfriend and I came away with a greater appreciation for the art and a feeling of fulfillment for having checked off a top item on his Bucket List.
We don’t live in New Mexico and were visiting Santa Fe for the first time to see the Art Galleries. Chris was very diligent in safely wrapping and sending our two pieces back to California after they were cooled and ready to ship.
In my opinion Prairie Dog Glass is the Gem and Jackalope is just something surrounding it… yet PDog is buried in Jackalope’s Unilocal Reviews…
This place is a destination to itself for the Glass Blowing Class with Chris!!!
Sometimes Art lives within the creative process even more so than what is created (though we are happy with our vase and paperweight) it was the experience that we will never forget. Chris’s patience, knowledge, skill and great sense of hospitality will make you feel welcome and comfortable in the shop.
We will be telling the story of our experience for years to come.
Thanks Chris!
