Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have come up with a socially distant demonstration where you can keep the piece you see made. At this time, we are only offering ornaments.
Come and watch our professional glassblowers make an ornament for you. You choose from a variety of colors and our glassblowers will show you how it's made, step-by-step. They will explain the process and answer any questions you may have. All details about this series are answered in the F.A.Q. below.
NOTE: This is not a hands-on glass making experience. You will be watching the process from a minimum of a 6-foot distance to maintain proper social distancing. Masks are required for all visitors.

F.A.Q.
How to Book:
Please be sure to register and pay in advance through the button in the description or at this link here. You will select one (1) ticket for how many ornaments you'd like (1 ornament, 2 ornaments, and so on). During the booking process, do not worry about how many spectators you have, as long as you do not bring more than our 8 person maximum. If you would like more ornaments than what is listed (maybe 5 people watching 10 ornaments made), please contact us to discuss options.
Will I get to participate in the process?
No. In order to maintain proper social distance, spectators will be sitting a minimum of 6-feet away from the hot glass work area.
Is there an age-limit?
No. Unlike our hands-on classes, our "See It Made" Series is open to all ages. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult with permission from their legal guardian. Please see more info about our studio setting and minor participant policy.
What if I don't want an ornament?
You will have an option between an ornament or a float. We are unable to offer any additional choices at this time.
What is a float?
A float is hollow and round, like the ornament but instead of hanging from a hook, we finish it off with a button so it will sit on a flat surface or float in water.
How big will my ornament be?
The ornament or float will be hollow and round, approximately 2.5-3.5" in diameter.
How many colors are there to choose from?
We don't have a set number of colors but will be adding many more options to our regular rotation of colors (likely 25+), just for this series. Color availability may vary seasonally or run out from class to class. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see a photo of the available colors in December 2020.
Can I take my piece home the same day?
No. All items will need to be cooled and checked over a 48-hour period, so your items will not be ready to take home the same day of your demo and you will have to come back to pick up the finished piece within 60 days or arrange for shipping at an additional cost. Cost of shipping will depend on how many items are being shipped and where it is going. Typically shipping ranges from $12 to $20.
How many people can I bring with me?
Currently we are offering this series for as few as one person to groups as large as 8 persons. This includes total number of spectators and not just ornaments made. If you are interested in bringing a larger group, please call us to discuss.
Not everyone in my group wants their own piece. Do I have to pay for everyone anyway?
No, if you have a group of 6 but only want 3 ornaments made, please select the "3 ornaments" option. Please understand that we can only allow for a maximum of 8 spectators in order to maintain proper social distance. If you are interested in bringing a larger group, please call us to discuss.
Can I get more than one for myself?
Yes. If you would like more than one ornament for yourself, please select the number of ornaments in total. If you are interested in more ornaments than is listed, please call us to discuss. We would be happy to allow more ornaments per person for a small group.
We want to make more than one ornament each, but your booking site only allows us to pick up to eight ornaments.
If you are interested in more ornaments than is listed, please call us to discuss. We would be happy to allow more ornaments per person for a small group.
Can we bring food and drinks?
Normally we allow food and drinks but due to our strict mask policy we cannot allow food and drinks in the shop at this time. You may utilize the table we have on our front porch for food and drinks outside, but no person will be allowed inside without a mask.
Do I really have to wear a mask if I am six feet away from others?
Yes. Anyone not wearing a mask will not be allowed in the building. If you are asked multiple times to put your mask on properly (covering mouth and nose) you may be asked to leave without a refund.
Will the staff and glassblowers be wearing a mask?
Our staff is required to properly wear a mask at all times. During your demonstration, the glassblower will need to pull their mask down briefly to blow a bubble into your ornament, but they will be at least 6 feet away from spectators when this happens. This is partly why we will have spectators spaced away from the work area.
Your website says "No Cancellations or Refunds". What if I am sick?
In normal times, we have a no cancellations or refunds policy for most of our classes. Right now, safety for our customers and staff is our priority so we will make an exception and allow for cancellations due to illness. Please give us as much notice as possible if you begin to have any symptoms of COVID-19. We will not allow anyone with any COVID-19 symptoms or anyone with recent COVID-19 exposure to enter the building.
What is Decatur Glassblowing doing to keep the studio safe and clean in regard to the coronavirus outbreak?
Please read through our detailed COVID-19 safety procedures. We are following CDC guidelines by social distancing and requiring masks, along with other safety precautions and increased cleaning and sanitation.
I don't see the day or time that I want. Is there other availability?
Please call us if you don't see the date and time you are looking for. We are currently open only a few days a week but may be able to accommodate you outside of our listed gallery hours. Be sure to leave a voicemail and we will return your call as soon as we are able to.
How do I book my spot?
Please click here and you will be redirected to our booking platform. If you have any trouble with booking online, you may also call us to schedule.
Have more questions?
Please see our general FAQ page. If any information is contradictory, refer to this page ("See Yours Made" FAQ) as our current standards and policies in place during the coronavirus pandemic and until further notice. You may also call us with questions anytime. Be sure to leave a voicemail and we will return your call as soon as we are able to. Please understand we are open limited hours and may take a few days to return your call.
