The centerpiece of the WheatonArts crafts village is the Museum of American Glass, set in a museum building, created in the early 70s to fit in with the surviving old-time buildings and other antiquey structures around the campus. The museum houses an extensive collection of glass and accompanying hardware to take you through the history of glass in America, while simultaneously celebrating the possibilities of glass works.
Very interesting. We watched glass blowers make glasses and bowls. Thinking wed like to take a class here. Also saw glass working and pot throwing. The museum was well worth the time and the stores offered quality goods.
Fascinating place! Great wide-ranging collection of glassware. Tour docent was good. Nice gift shop with an excellent selection of items at a range of prices. Great glass-blowing demonstration. Wish wed had time to visit the other workshops on site (pottery making . . .). Give them a nice donation when you visit.
Nice staff. Interesting crafts. Did not do the museum/glass exhibit.
Very unique place I will visit again
Very nice place to visit, set as a old Western town. The museum show through time of glass making.
Really cool place to visit and see some art and learn about local history! Worth a couple hours!
Great exhibits and cool glass making demonstration
If you ever wondered how glass goods are manufactured and how far this type of craftsmanship can go - please go head and visit this place. Very interesting experience.
Very dear to my heart went there on a school trip when a kid
Awesome experience
Always love visiting here!
