Things to do in Louisville, Kentucky (KY): The Best Lessons & Workshops
Each year, horse enthusiasts hoof it to Louisville and Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition to equestrian endeavors and bluegrass roots, Louisville boasts a range of exciting attractions the whole family can enjoy. Stroll through Central Park, in the historic district, to people-watch and get a real feel for the city. Visit other nearby parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding. Baseball fans will love the Louisville Slugger Museum, a celebration of the sport's legends. The museum is easy to spot, just look for the humongous bat that leans against the building.

What a great experience! It was a lot of fun to learn about the process of making glass. We learned so much! They were happy to answer all of our questions. They offered advice about colors to use and how they would look in the finished project. We can’t thank them enough for starting our mini vacation off with an amazing experience.

There are two glass shops in this building, but Mark Payton's workshop is where our family of 6 landed. Mark brought me behind the glass shield to make an imploded glass flower pendant--the kind of experience you rarely, if ever, get to participate in! He took point, but I helped keep the glass moving and followed the instructions so I was part of every stage in the process except the finishing. Then he amused my kids by taking pictures of me breathing fire. :) The heated glass work is not available to all ages, but I think older kids can participate as well. What all ages can do is a fused glass project--cutting or gluing crushed glass to another glass surface, which will then be fused in the kiln. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Louisville! We got lucky and were able to do it all on walkins--but I'd recommend calling ahead to make sure the staffing is available for whatever you want to do.
