Very beautiful glass pieces. And they have an area where you can view the workshop to see pieces being created.

We had a really nice time on a rainy day with our family here at Flame Run. We got to pick the style, color and design of what we wanted made. This place offers great customer service and they were very imformative. We got to get up close to be able to see how they were forming our piece. Because of Covid we couldnt actually blow the glass, but still were able to be up close. Once the piece cooled down, we picked it up the next day ( they can also ship, if needed). Overall it was a great experience.

Very cool place to visit. We came at the wrong time to see people working with glass, but it was fun looking through what they had for sale. Some really beautiful things.

Adam and his colleagues hosted a small group of us this afternoon and it made for a great outing! He made the interaction fun and educational, taking his time to explain the process as he went along. By the time the last piece of art of finishing for our group we were clapping. Thank you for such a pleasant afternoon. I cant wait to see the finished work!

We had a great time! I did the galaxy orb so I actually got to work on the glass. DH selected colors and watched up close as an artist created a whisky glass for him. Gorgeous souvenirs and we were so close to action. A great activity! Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Lovely glass pieces and even lovelier people at Flame Run. We had the absolute best experience working with Tiffany, John S., And John C. on having spirit glass made. We appreciated how involved we could be in the process and how invested everyone was in making this the perfect piece for us. Love this place and these people.

So many reasons why this place is awesome. Set up everything with Tiffany and she showed me samples of everything to get an idea. After some wild ideas I had, she helped me tone it down to understand the properties of what the glass can and cannot do. John Stokes worked with me on Spirit Pieces for one of my dogs. He was so respectful, knowledgable and just all around awesome. Because of the hot shop they work in, the shop walls are open. He put a cover over the ashes so the wind wouldnt blow them away. I didnt think about that at the time but just that small touch was thought out in a away that I didnt-- in grief. I got two hearts done. He worked with me from start to finish and let me in on the creative process. Each heart is completely different which attests to both his technique as well as what the glass just does in the fire. Just go with it and it becomes more awesome. I was able to choose colors etc. and he was nice enough to tell me what colors look like after. Meaning in the jar vs in the fire. I appreciated that because once it goes in the fire its too late. You really dont know what the fire will do. You just trust. And let crafter do what they know how to do. Thats the beauty of it. Several days later once cooled the piece actually comes out better than what you first see. All around theyre just cool peeps! Rave, rave, rave!!! Ill be back! Just go!

Review №16

You get to blow the glass but someone else handles all the poles and does the real work. The artists are great and very helpful. It is cheaper to just buy the glass in their store than to make it but if you want the experience its worth it. Just save your money and buy from their shop if you want more than one item.

Nice gallery that leans towards artful functional and smaller decorative pieces. There is a range of prices, so you will probably go home with something you like. Excellent air-conditioned viewing area of the glass artists. I did the hands-on experience and all you do is blow into the tube. Go for a class if you want to do more. It was reasonably priced though for what it was. The artist was friendly and answered my questions. Very friendly salesperson in the gallery. Find 50% off items in the back.

My family came down to Louisville for the weekend and wanted something fun that we could all do. We scheduled an appointment at Flame Run to blow our own glass pieces. What a great experience! We were fortunate to have Brook, the owner, work with us. He explained the process step by step, and allowed us to blow the glass to make the pieces we wanted. To top it off, they had a gallery with beautiful glass work. We had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend it.

Why havent you done this yet? DO IT!This is one of the neatest interactive events my wife and I have done in Louisville. To see first hand how these artist create these pieces of art are amazing. Every person that we interacted with was so nice and helpful.Remember that your created piece will need to cool overnight...so plan on a second visit, or shipping!

I was so excited about doing this! I called ahead, asked about doing bourbon glasses, was told with the holidays they are just slammed busy and couldn’t do it. So, we decided to do a ornament, anyways. We got there and the place was empty. We were the only ones. Still excited, we went to blow our glass and felt very rushed. When we were checking in, the lady talked about different designs, but that was never even an option. . . It was just quickly done and over with. It only took maybe 5 minutes and we were out the door. Great concept, but $40 each for 5 minutes each is crazy. . . And you get no say but a little color choice. We literally blew into a tube for 30 seconds, if that. It was the only Interaction we had. Maybe we just hit an off time and we are excited about having our own glass, just a little disappointed.

Extremely interesting place to visit. Admission is free and you can sit in a gallery and watch expert glass of wine blowers actually making the glass. Their skill in this area is amazing to watch. You can purchase the merchandise and also make your own art.

Flame run is an awesome working glass studio with hot and warm glass classes and a full glass gallery and open window studio. They offer crazy high end Dale Chihuly type art to totally down to earth art anyone can afford. You can even make your own! The owners are awesome and throw great parties. If you havent been to one yet stop in on a summer night during the First Friday Hop.

Go there, educational and fun. Eric, the guy that runs the place is great, the glass blowers are great, your art will be great. Have fun, a little pricey, but, you will have a family heirloom and a good story to tell.

What a great experience. Rudy was great helping me blow my own glass ornament. My husband and I were there near the end of the day and were lucky enough to get a behind the scenes look at the glass shop from the owner Brook. It was great we learned quite a bit. I would definitely do it again!😁😁
