Reviews

Review for: 1 hour glass-making experience

It was very very fun! And such a nice souvenir to bring back. The owner is so patient and kind, especially towards our 4 year old son. He speaks English enough to guide us, and he ensured to do the glass bead making together with my son, while letting him still experience it. Thank you so much for the fun workshop!
