North Carolina Glass Center

Reviewed By PugglePower - Boca Raton, United States

My wife and I had the opportunity to make a glass in the "Hot Shop" today. Last time we were in Asheville, we found this spot too late to participate, so we were sure to make arrangements this time. It was a "blast"!!! The staff were welcoming and warm . Our instructor, Stephanie, was fantastic. She explained everything, made us feel at ease and comfortable and was very knowledgeable. Being able to make our own blown glass tumbler was great addition to our trip to Asheville. I highly recommend this experience.

My husband and I along with our 16 year old daughter took a half day guided trip with Tony over springbreak when we visited Hendersonville. My husband had some experience fly fishing, but my daughter and I were rank beginners! Tony was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He took us to a great spot with lots of trout, almost guaranteeing that we would catch something! My daughter and I had success! We didn’t set any records, but we did catch about 4 fish. My husband pulled in about a dozen. All in all a fun trip and we would highly recommend the experience!
