“My partner and I wanted to give our very good friends a special gift for the holidays. When we learned that LAGC would be hosting glass blowing, we knew what to do. The Holiday Spirits on the Rocks class (offered on December 21, 2019) was the best thing we've all done thus far! The class not only taught you how to create your very own tumbler but had an in house mixologist that taught you how to make two delicious cocktails. We even got to take home the cocktail recipes and your very own tumbler, blown by the instructor!

As a first timer in a hotshop, I was nervous about working with molten glass and didn't think I would ever be able to blow glass! The team at LAGC was there every step of the way and guided us through the whole process.  We have done other workshops in the past but this class and team was unlike any other. The LAGC team's hospitable demeanor, warmth, and passion for teaching really had our friends saying this class was an experience for the books.”

This talented bunch makes you feel welcome and is excited to work with you to show you the ropes. Our group of 4 worked together as a team, shared some laughs, and was able learn the basic of glass blowing. 

We can't wait for the next class to go back!”

“All I can say is, WOW! I have been wanting to try glass blowing for the longest time and this was the perfect way to get my feet wet. I was definitely nervous at first because I had no clue what I was doing… the coolest instructor you could hope for, made me feel super comfortable and was there to assist every step of the way. My friend who has taken a few classes at other studios came with me as well and he said this was the best class he has taken so far. To top it off, the studio itself is absolutely incredible and everyone there could not have been more down to earth. If you are looking for a one of a kind experience, you must take one of their classes. I cannot wait to go back and learn more!”

“My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary by each taking a class in making the small fruit bowls… our teacher… did an outstanding job, very patient with us and all of our questions. It was a great combo of fun, learning and in turning out something that we can use and enjoy. We also met with the studio owner (Joe), who was welcoming and took time to talk with us about the shop and their work. Highly recommended!”

“I booked my boyfriend and I "Make Your Own" appointments here as a fun anniversary date and it was fantastic! Corey, Joe, Austin, Cedric, Aimee and the whole crew at LA Glass Center are so nice and so very talented! I had the opportunity to meet them and see their work during the El Segundo Art Walk but getting to work with them was such a special and unique experience I will never forget. They are so kind, patient, encouraging and welcoming into this unique art form it was an incredible experience I highly recommend to anyone! Looking forward to going back again soon!”

“Went there for a team-building activity and they blew my mind. Joe and his group of artisans instructed us so patiently. We were a large group of 16 without any prior knowledge of how glass blowing works (other than the Nextflix show - Blown Away). We showed up for breakfast and over the next 4 hours, they broke us out in groups of two, gave us an overview of the centuries-old glass blowing glass-forming technique and we came away with a beautiful glass piece to take home. At the end of our session, we watched Cedric, Corey, and Joe create a special decanter for our team as an office souvenir! They had such an incredible flow going, true professionals!"

The studio is incredibly clean and organized albeit very hot as expected.”

“We went here for a company team activity and everyone had a great time. No one had prior experience, we all came from varied backgrounds, but we all really found our half day here something we'll never forget. Joe and his staff helped us get set up, got us ready… We split up into teams of two and each made a piece to take home. These guys are all great artists, all produce amazing work, and are great teachers too. At the end of our session, they let us watch them create a more complicated piece, which was an amazing thing to see. I can't recommend this place enough. The studio is in a really nice tech area in El Segundo. Be aware: It gets hot with numerous ovens all going…”
