This was such a wonderful experience! This is a very small outfit and the owner himself conducted our intimate class, just my husband and I. We arrived early and as we were waiting, we had a wonderful conversation with his wife. He goes through the basic science of glassblowing and how it works, which was very interesting and also gives a background on his education and qualifications. He is very hands-on to ensure you actually leave with a piece of art because glass blowing is not very easy. There are a lot of things you have to do at once and he helps you keep up with everything. Despite how hands-on he was, I still very much felt like I created my piece of art. I would come back over and over and over. Oh! And they have a shop dog named Halle Berry, which was the cherry on top.

Glass provides a resting place for wine, eveningwear for Cinderellas, and a more dramatic exit from 44th floor windows for Bruce Willises. Shatter artistic inhibitions with today's Groupon to Janke Studios, located in the Studioplex of the historic Martin Luther King Jr. district. Choose between the following options:

  • For $75, you get a one-day hot-glass experience class, from noon to 3:30 p.m. or 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on a Saturday or Sunday (a $150 value).

Under the crystal-clear instruction of founder and veteran glassblower Matt Janke, Janke Studios elucidates the many panels of glassmaking with a refracted array of classes. Fragile souls are schooled in scorching entry-level techniques during the hot-glass experience, learning how to gather and shape glass drawn from a 2,400-degree furnace. All students get to create their own paperweights and flowers, ideal for helping hummingbirds overcome their well-documented fear of their own reflections. Novices seeking a more thorough education can enroll in the beginning glassblowing course, a comprehensive track where the construction of myriad reflective projects, such as flowers, paperweights, tumblers, and fish, allow students to progressively build their shard-savvy skills.

Janke Studios dazzles students with a whimsically kaleidoscopic gallery and a studio boasting an impressive assemblage of equipment, including a color furnace that doubles as a Skittle-shading machine. No experience is necessary to enroll in any of the studio’s classes, and all materials are provided for both class options.
