Great spot to make a special, unique item. We made a group reservation, and the staff was wonderful and patient. The ornaments and sun tiles came out GREAT

This was an awesome place to partner in making your own glass art work!!! You learn so much from these knowledgeable folks!!!!

My granddaughter enjoys making glass tiles. Always fun and the employees are so helpful.

I had a fantastic birthday there creating keepsakes with my three granddaughters. They also have incredible glass pieces to collect or give as a wonderful present for someone. Great wedding gifts or holiday otems.

I was looking for a creative gift for my wife and getting activities at Hot Sand was a great decision. I wasnt sure exactly how to get the best experience for her birthday so I reached out to them and they quickly responded. I scheduled individual activities for a few people so we all had an opportunity to make something. It also gave us an opportunity to see how each glass creation was made. The instructors, Ariel and Matt, were great and really helped guide the process along while making sure we felt involved even though (for safety reasons) they were doing the bulk of the sculpting. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for an outside-of-the-box gift or even a fun date idea.

What an awesome experience! Everyone there is calm, friendly and knowledge. They know all the answers about anything glass and they are happy to share what they know. They are so talented and creative and guide you through the process as you blow life into the liquid sand to create your own beautiful piece. A gift certificate for this awesome experience is a unique gift to give anyone. I would do it again in a heartbeat. You get to pick what you want to make and the colors you want. Everything turns out beautiful, something you will treasure forever.

Beautiful glass works. Love that they’ll do certain pieces to your color preferences!

We went today and made our own pumpkin and Christmas ornament. What a great experience! The guys are great teachers and it was definitely worth it. They explained the process, you participated safely, and you get a piece to take home and display forever! I cant wait to see the final pieces when we pick it up!Their pieces are just beautiful also. Id buy the store if I could! We highly recommend it!

What a fantastic experience! They really get you involved and teach you their craft. The entire staff is fun and the atmosphere is very upbeat. 2100° of fun is a true statement! 100% going back. Thanks for such a unique and fun experience!

What a fun experience! Very hands on and great environment. Would definitely book an appt this place can get busy with how cool it is. Ariel and Scott were great, highly recommend!

Took a group of 8 here. The staff is very patient and accommodating. It was educational and interesting. My kids enjoyed it and look forward to seeing the finished pieces! FYI- the staff does 90%+ of the actual work as it is crazy hot and dangerous. They sit with you and explain, while you observe and you do just enough work to make you feel like you did something! Also made me feel better that the staff were with my kids entire time, so no one was hurt in process!

Very informative and lots of fun~ never knew how these beautiful works of art were made. Helping to blow the glass along with the cost is not bad either. Just one more place that makes Asbury such a different, fun place to visit.

A super fun place . You can make your own items. Lots of beautiful pieces and the place smells sooooo wonderful. I got my fur babys paw prints done. It will be a lasting and very personal treasure.

This was a lot of fun. I brought 5 11 year old girls and they loved it. Staff was amazing. I highly recommend making a reservation. And it is not inexpensive but...worth it. You have to go back a week later to pick up your work. Be prepared for that.

The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They take the time to walk you through the steps of the glass blowing process and tell you a little about how the colors you have selected are made. It was an enjoyable experience and one worth doung again.

Neat shop. The glass blowing was a plus. It wasnt time consuming at all and fairly priced. **Super easy I just received the finished product. They are hollow and it has a round opening on the bottom so you can add a flameless candle or a light.

We bought our four dogs to Hot Sand to have their paws imprinted in glass. The entire staff was so accommodating to help us get the best paw prints we could from our fickle dogs. I would recommend Hot Sand to anyone looking for a unique experience or gift. I also attended a childs birthday party at Hot Sand and the glass blowers had all the children intrigued and engaged. The entire staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about glass blowing. As far as I know there is no other place like this in NJ, that is why we drove an hour and a half to visit Hot Sand.

Lots of fun! The staff was great, explaining everything we did and helping us create beautiful glass pieces. Will definitely go again.

Made a really cool blown glass tumbler. Really fun, and well worth a visit. My wife made a really cool glass tile. Both came out great, and the employees are very helpful. Assorted glass items are also available for sale.

Very informative!

Great service, huge selection of premade items for purchase. Always beautiful items.

Loved our experience - staff is friendly, fun, informative and makes it a one of a kind exp. Each artist brings their own flare to helping you create your own art. A truly unique and wonderful time for anyone

Great place for kids they can make stuff out of glass

It was really cool to learn about how glass pieces are blown/created. All of the staff members were very informative and relatable. The glass blowing and creation of a piece youll have to keep is an experience that you will remember every time you look at or use it

The work that is performed at hot sand is amazing the people there are very nice and you can learn a lot they can teach you how to blow your own glass step by step although I did not have time to get something blown from me next time I visit Asbury Park I will be getting something blown no pun intended

Got a friend a workshop making a Pumpkin. The space is very open and friendly. The staff were kind and easy to work with. The glassblower teaching the private workshop was very knowledgable and engaging - the only thing we didnt expect was how little our friend would get to do the actual hands-on handling of the glass. The instructor did 95% of the work - our friend got to blow air into the piece a few times, but largely was watching and listening next to the teacher. Just something to be aware of if you book a one-time beginners workshop like that.

Beautiful gifts, everything hand made there. And Glass blowing classes.

So much fun for the whole family!

So many beautiful pieces being sold there and if you take a walk in class, you end up with a beautiful piece that you made yourself.I never ever write reviews but:Despite all that, Im giving it 2 stars because my husband and my friend and I think the prices were a little much. Every little thing added up. I made a bubble which was shaped into a vase. I had to pay extra for each color (kind of understandable but not for $7.50 per color), pay for each twist of color (another $7.50), and then I had to pay for the flattening of the vase bottom ($10! For just taking a wood paddle and putting up against the hot glass).The bubble sizes are small, large, and XL. My friend chose a small and I chose a large upon the suggestion of the glass blower so my design would show better.HERES WHAT IRKED ME ENOUGH TO WANT TO GIVE A ONE STAR REVIEW: my large bubble turned out to be $68 PLUS tax. My friends small bubble was $48 plus tax. When picking up the pieces, my friends small vase and my large vase were the same size. So I just paid like $30 (if you include the tax) extra for the same size piece.Very very upset about the prices. Although the pieces did turn out beautifully....not worth the money.

Time for our annual Christmas ornament making.

Hot sand was great. Very nice staff and blew our own glass and made hand prints in the sand which they fill with the hot glass. Amazing things in the store. Thanks for the experience.

Helpful friendly staff,cant wait to actually make some cool stuff here.

Got a puppy footprint made, and I didnt realize it could be embossed or debossed, so when I found out it was embossed, I asked if they could remake it as debossed, and they did so, no problem!

Love hand blown glass and Hot Sand has some great pieces!

Great for kids, 9 & up can blow glass. Watch the pros for free...Fairly priced and a ton of fun...

This place is an awesome place, I would recommend going to hot sand this is the best sand art place I ever when tot, HAT wrote a great review for their dog I agree, with it hot san dit the best, place to go to for sand are in the world, or in asbury (:

You get to make your own glass bowl.

Great experience for the family.

My wife and I both had the chance to make drinking glasses, and it was a brilliant experience! They clearly explained each of the steps and it was fascinating to see the pieces take shape. Cant wait to use our unique glasses!

Fun place. Staff is very nice!

Great time, skilled teachers, made beautiful paperweight. Everyone should try this here.

Great value. Fun

Alot of fun! Wish it was more hands on, however dealing with molten hot glass, O understand why it is not.

Great family experience. A bit expensive but its worth it.

This place was fun! We learned a lot about blowing glass, and got to participate in the process. The only reason I didnt give them a full 5 stars is because I wish there was a way to have been more hands on with the process. Its not that cheap, so I wouldnt go often, but I recommend going at least once. Also, they take walk ins. Most items you can make on the walk in list only take about 30 minutes (just make sure to show up at least 30 minutes or more before closing.

Walked into Hot Sand to witness them finishing up a vase to which they then added two turtle doves to it. It was a beautiful piece!

The staff was great! Very helpful, informative & patient. Pieces came out beautiful!

Got my glass back and my niece and nephew loved making theirs and now we all have glasses from a great experience!

Really cool handmade designs

While we did not purchase anything, getting to see them blow glass right in front of you is mesmerizing. Just wish their prices were a bit more affordable.

Took my 8 and 10 year old nieces and Im not sure who had more fun! Staff was wonderful as well!

Such a fun place to shop and/or watch the magic happen. They make everything there which is always a treat. They also host home school groups and scouts

I had so much fun learning about the glass blowing process from Nick and making a vase. Ill be back soon with friends! #luvhotsand

I would just like to know how much it is for one beginner person to take a class? Its difficult to find the prices on your site. I want to give a class to my mother for her birthday. How much would a group class be also?

I always wanted to go but couldnt afford it until Groupon. They had very strict rules for Groupon. So when I showed up and I wasnt treated very well due to the coupon.I got very discouraged. They wouldnt allow me to upgrade the coupon to get what I wanted. Then came in Bonnie. She was great. She came up with a plan on how to adjust what I could get with the Groupon and still work within their rules. She was great and she saved the day for me & my daughter. I am very happy with Hot Sand and would love to return but only if I get Bonnie again.

Very open to a multitude of questions. They explain what theyre doing step-by-step. Pricing is quite fair.

A perfect place to make a beautiful knick knack.

Great place for the family.

Great experience for our children

Lots of fun but pretty pricey

Excellent trip for our art minded middle school students
