I would not take toddlers into the shop; it's tight in there and EVERYthing is breakable. But I think that a 10-year-old could take a glass blowing class -- assuming a normal 10-year-old. You know you're kid. Materials are hot; there is some danger. If your kid listens and follows instructions and demonstrates care, then s/he'll be fine. If your kid isn't good about staying still, following instructions, etc., then NO.

Hello! For the Blow Your Own Glass Experience, you can choose between 6 different shapes right now. You can make a paperweight, flower, ornament, sea float globe, small bowl or pumpkin. In the Private Lesson, participants make a average total of 5 pieces. Because it's a longer class, you have more flexibility in the choice of shapes. Feel free to email us directly or call at 206-448-2181 if you have any other questions! We hope to see you in the Studio for a class!

From memory, and don't quote me, I think it cost me about $60 to ship 2 pieces to Australia. They were well padded and arrived in perfect condition. I do not know if that cost was based on weight, or size of box, so I don't know what it would have cost to send all my pieces (the paperweights were quite heavy so I took them in hand luggage padded inside socks - and yes, got pulled up by Customs because they looked strange but showed them to the Customs guy and he was very interested in their story and of course allowed them through) I only chose to ship the two items I thought most likely to break in my luggage. Definitely, I do Not regret that I shipped them!

Hello Kimberly. You are welcome to come in anytime to watch the glassblowing activity. No need to be part of the class!

I wouldn't take my four year old just because there are so many opportunities to get hurt. Unless you watched them carefully the entire time or your child is extremely well behaved. There are several ovens set at 2,000 degrees, hot tools everywhere, things to trip over. I am not even sure they would allow a 4 year old in for the class. I think I rememeber seeing an age restriction on the waiver form. If they want to tour the gallery of pieces made by the artists, they could do that. I don't mean to deter you with my post, but I have two four year old nephews, and I cannot imagine them going back into the studio.
