Debbie Philbin: Love this place quality work very reasonable prices owners always there to talk to you.I buy pumpkins from him every year and now I'm going to start going there and getting Christmas bulbs every year

Annette Gennari: So talented. We drive an hour to come to the events here. The owner is such a kind person and his work with glass is amazing. I wish they would make glass eggs for Easter.

Patricia Deldin: When starting at this school, I was a little past being a very early beginner. I'm in the 7th week of my 2nd set of classes. I have taken lessons at 3 other places and this by far is the best. The studio is very well set up. Phillip is an OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTOR. What makes him so great are 3 things: He explains things well, he is patient when you make mistakes (and understands the learning takes practice) and he breaks things down into simple steps. Finally, and most importantly, he is very supportive and encouraging! The studio is very organized and well set up. I am having the time of my life in this class. If you want to really learn from the fundamentals on up, come to this school!

Jennifer Hart: My daughter has taken several classes here. She has learned some wonderful beginner skills and is looking forward to using her pieces in her art portfolio. I highly recommend Acorn Glassworks.

Becky Schuerman: The Glass Academy Crew is just as down to earth in person as they are on their weekly Gathering Point show! Our family enjoyed our visit there, playing some music, seeing the glass pieces being made in person, and wandering through the Batch Gallery to find some uniquely cool items to take home to Nebraska. The GA Crew along with the craftsmanship & quality of the items created @ the GA are second to none!

It's DEFINITELY worth the watch.I especially love to watch the 'Annealer Reveal' to see the finished products.Trying to decide on when to come and visit...! It WILL happen.Thanks to all for the hard work and beautiful products you offer.Thanks to the behind the scenes people, they work really hard to process and ship the products out. I've never had an item broken. They take such good care of everything and everyone!! Thanks Glass Academy for EVERYTHING!!!
