Art Glass by Mathews

Art Glass by Mathews offers unique experiences centered around the art of glassblowing, led by Master Glassblower Ray Mathews. Participants have the chance to create their own glass art pieces, such as ornaments, drinking vessels, and handcrafted paperweights. The company provides various class options ranging from individual sessions to a series of five classes, catering to different skill levels and interests. Each session is designed to give hands-on experience in the craft of glassblowing, encouraging creativity and collaboration.

The company emerged from a shared passion between Ray Mathews Jr. and his father, a former professional football player with a love for golf. Inspired by a comment from his father about making golf clubs out of glass, Ray Jr. crafted the world’s first glass putter as a unique gift. This blend of personal history and creative innovation is reflected in the company's offerings, where participants can engage in crafting one-of-a-kind glass items under expert guidance. Advanced booking is required for these sessions, and gift certificates are available for those looking to share this distinctive experience with others.
