This glass-object gallery and glass-blowing studio is a unique spot where you can watch glassblowers create exquisite masterpieces while you shop. As you wander, look up to see oversized frosted-glass handcuffs and shackles hanging from the ceiling.
The many delicate, carefully made items available include jewelry, marbles, paperweights, and vases. And if you’re feeling the DIY vibes, sign up for a class in bead-making or lampworking.
