Third Degree Glass Factory, a working glass studio and gallery in St. Louis, runs a week-long summer glass camp for youth roughly ages 10 to 14. Campers spend five full days making glass art across three studios—glassblowing, flameworking to create glass beads, and fused glass—and stage a showcase of their work on the final day.

★★★★★Ty RamadanSurprised my girlfriend with a private glassblowing session as a Valentine's Day gift, and it was a phenomenal experience. Our instructor, James, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and he provided the perfect balance of a hands-on experience that also resulted in some glass pieces we were very happy with. To anyone thinking about doing a private session, I highly recommend sticking to just two people so you can maximize your involvement in the process. I also suggest you start off with a paperweight before making something more intricate, such a bowl or vase. The paperweight allowed us to get the first-time jitters out of the way, and actually ended up being a surprisingly gorgeous little piece that I love keeping on my desk to show coworkers. Overall, this was an amazing experience from start to finish, and I'm so glad we have Third Degree here in our city offering something so unique and enjoyable.
★★★★★Kate GilesI had my wedding at Third Degree on 3/14, and I cannot recommend them enough!! The entire staff was so helpful throughout the planning process - always offering ideas/perspectives about how things have worked well in the past, giving us insights about how scheduling our night could work so we had maximum time on the dance floor, and so much more! The night of the wedding, we had Emma working with us, and she made me and my husband feel so taken care of! She frequently checked in to make sure we were all good, and even brought us drinks and food throughout the night! She worked so well with our vendor team, and it felt like everyone was on the same page and knew exactly what they were doing! The bar was incredible, and our guests were blown away by all of the different drinks they were able to get! Not only did we get to pick out two signature cocktails, but our guests were able to make requests all night, and the bartenders were more than happy to try out new drinks for our guests! Plus, they provided such quick service!! We had Jon Biscin do a glass blowing demonstration during our cocktail hour, and every single seat in the room was filled! Our guests kept telling us they'd never seen something like that (at a wedding, or in general)! We are so excited to get to have a piece of our wedding day on display in our home, and we can't wait to see the finished product! If you are considering Third Degree for your wedding, you won't regret it!! I seriously cannot believe how perfect the venue was for our day!
★★★★★Julian GoodThird Degree Glass Factory is such an incredible glass workshop, art gallery, and venue! We just got married in this incredible venue after having visited and been admirers and customers of the glass art. We cannot emphasize enough how far above and beyond Tyler and the team at Third Degree went to achieve our dream wedding after the devastating Tornado this spring. Just two weeks after a Tornado devastated the surrounding area and destroyed windows, roofing, and glass art at Third Degree, the team had worked tirelessly to clean everything up, set-up new displays, and repair the building. They also did a live glass blowing demonstration during our cocktail hour and every bartender, waiter, and glass blower was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, we had the time of our lives!
★★★★★David BoberMy cousin and my cousin's wife got married here and the ceremony was amazing!! First of all, the scenery is gorgeous. All the glass sculptures and fixtures around are beautiful and really add to the esthetic. My cousin actually added very few decorations because he wanted people to notice the beauty of the location. It was an open bar for beer and wine and a cash bar for hard alcohol. The staff was very friendly. There was also live glass blowing during the reception which was super cool! I definitely recommend this place for your weddings, birthdays, or any other event!
★★★★Alison BozarthLoved seeing their glass artist display. I enjoy their first Fridays. I enjoy that they are a driving force in working together with all art companies on the loop. More friendly greeters or shop attendants would be my only suggestion but this place is also fanatic for events such as weddings, meetings, get togethers ect. Also a good place to get custom made awards that are very fair in price but no less meaningful.
