Third Degree Glass Factory

I'm kind of bummed out about this next fact but while visiting St. Louis I found out about this amazing little place and didn't get to visit it. Third Degree Glass Factory has classes on glass blowing, kiln working, and more, its own gallery, and also holds events (some free) each month with bands, food, and fun for all ages. You can even bring in a bottle of your favorite drink and have them melt it down into a plate for 10$.

While I was down there they had a free event at night with a bluegrass band, bbq, and glass blowing artists for entertainment. Children and adults could make? or have made? a paperweight or give 10$ for a plate.

I really wish I had had the time to go to this event or at least check out the factory. You can sign up for classes or rent space to practice your art for a practical and reasonable fee. I wish I could find a place in Minnesota like this. I might have to put in the time to hunt down some glass artists and see if there is a factory or studio where I could begin learning the art.
