Beautiful place. Loved the demonstrations. No reservation needed. Early birds will have a good start. Buying souvenirs is a good way to support the business. An ancient art yet still mesmerizing. A must visit. And if anyone wants to have something unique made out of glass. They do contracts as well.
REACH homeschool co-op field trip today. My son and his friends had a blast. Very educational. Great skill to gain interest in for my little fire starter. Something useful to put his hands to some day. He can go from building in the fireplace to playing with molten glass someday if he likes. Great idea to have a viewing area, way to promote the arts and education! The gentleman that tan the demonstration was very patient, funny and full of fun facts for our audience.
Very nice glass work. There is a glass blowing demonstration.
We were able to watch the process (free of charge!) and see how glass items are made. The presentation was well given. There was a question and answer time at the end. After completing an entire piece, the glassworkers then joined and mingled with the guests in the gift shop offering additional opportunities for questions and conversation.The gift shop is not a place for small children. Prices are high, but all is handmade originals.An enjoyable visit.
My partner had been here before and wanted to show me this place. It is a fantastic experience to watch the demos how those beautiful and colorful glass pieces come into existence under Tim’s (the founder) careful hands. You can take home glass roses, plates, vases, jewelries and hummingbird feeder with you. If you are around please have a look! I decided to take earrings and pendants home with me so I can wear them every day.
We had a wonderful time here with our 3 and 5 yr olds. The owner was blowing the glass and demonstrated making a purple vase. Beautiful piece, expertly crafted. He was very engaging with the kiddos and extremely knowledgeable about the history of glass blowing. Beautiful store but we couldn’t browse too long because of the kiddos. Highly recommend going
We had a great time experiencing how the beautiful glass was made. We are looking forward to coming back soon! Thanks for allowing me to bring Gabby yesterday!
Very interesting little place near San Marcos. The artwork was amazing. We sat through a demonstration given by the owner. He made a vase that portrayed the Texas spring wildflowers and it was beautiful. He was a hoot to listen too. Definitely recommend you drop in. All kinds of artwork for the home, such as lamps, vases, jewelry, and wall art.
This place is a must-stop. They have a large very nicely done gallery to watch the glass blowing. The people working the glass very very nice and explained everything they were doing. It was fun. They were making these intricate pumpkins for the fall. We watched them make about four of them before going to the showroom. They have a lot of very nice beautiful pieces for sale. These guys are very successful, and enjoy what they do.
Beautiful work, only wish the demo was a little longer.
Always loved this place and now the showroom is with thing you could ever imagine. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Had fun watching how they made a lamp shade art from scratch!
Great experience and awesome hand blown all original glassworks
Ever since I was a child I loved watching the art of glass being made right in front of me. We used to go to Juarez Mexico to a huge place where they did the same thing. They made everything. I went one time during the blistering hot summer and I know in that area it was much hotter. I felt for them. Yet what they made was awesome. Im always amazed at how they make such gorgeous works of art with hot melted glass. Now I love to take my granddaughter Indie. Wimberley Glassworks has so much to look at and purchase. I think everyone should go and watch pieces of every color of art being made right in front of you! I love this place
This was a highlight to your vacation on how things are made. Its a must to go see the demonstration. Wish we could have afforded some things a really neat place
Fantastically glorious. Its wonderful to be able watch them blow glass! The art pieces themselves are beautiful and unique and its become a family tradition to go ever year to their slightly irregular sale. Would highly recommend going if only to see them blowing glass.
Too bad they dont do glass blowing on Wednesdays and too bad they dont have anything pretty beautiful cool cute or affordable how unfortunate
Demonstration was awesome. Very friendly people.
Wow amazing the steps to make a lamp shade.
Awesome place with a great staff. Beautiful piece of glass work a d art.
Yes, this is a must visit place. Hopefully you will catch a glassblowing demo. They were making a lamp shade when we were there. Thats a lot of fun, especially if you have a pretty good understanding of the process.We visited with our daughter after attending a wedding the evening before.It was cool visiting the store and there were many pieces wed have loved to purchase but we still managed to purchase 2.Had we not just bought a new plane, we would have loaded up on glass items.We will be back though.Thanks for your hospitality and time. See you soon.
This gallery is incredible! Unique and extraordinary designs of incredibly talented artists! The gallery manager, Olivia, is fantastic. Well definitely be back for a glass blowing demo!
Wonderful class blowing demonstration. Not much in the store for shopping
Absolutely beautiful artwork. If I could Id fill my home with their artisan creations. So fun to watch them create and you can even take classes.
We enjoyed the demo. Very impressive and informative. If youre in the area, you should definitely take the time and visit. I survived the heat!
Beautiful glass creations. We did not get to see them blowing but it would be worth returning to see that.
Love this place. They have glass blowing demos on certain days and their work is incredibly beautiful. You can order custom pieces as well as buy glorious vases, bowls, jewelry and decor pieces. Their lamp shades are incredibly beautiful. But beware -- it is not for the faint of wallet. Craftsmanship like this is not cheap but it is worth every penny. Oh, and dont bring badly behaved children, way too much breakable stuff.
This place is amazing. This type of art is very unique. I love it.
Love the art class works. Interesting work shop demos and beautiful ornamental glass displays. Purchased artful vase.
This place was very interesting and so informative and pleasant. We stayed for a demonstration Wes is friendly and funny too. Highly recommend.
This place rox!! A must ...we stop by anytime we drive that way & have our crew check them out & watch them blow the glass& have live chats with the artists (how cool!!) Do wish they had more pieces in my price range, but still gorgeous!! Just stopped by & they had amazing pumpkins & pitcher & matching glasses sets!!
Beautiful pieces and very cool seeing the live demo!
Beautiful glassworks by very talented artists. They have free demos several days a week. Call or check their website for times. Its very hot watching the demos due to all the heat and blowtorches so go earlier in the day if its hot. You can usually see the owner and main artist and ask questions. They are very service oriented. Theres jewelry, bookmarks, lights, plates, misc. items, etc. Definitely worth the trip if youre into art.
The demonstration is very informative and interesting!!!!
Gorgeous glass creations. Only thing I would have liked is a selection of items for the holiday shopping season at $25. Smaller glass items. Spotted several lamps I will buy when I win the lottery!
Beautiful works of art. Wide variety of items. Watch glass blowing Wednesday - Saturday or Sunday.
Glassblowing and incredible artistry combine for beautiful pieces of all sorts and sizes at Wimberly Glassworks. Following an engaging glassblowing demonstration, we walked through the showroom filled with beautiful items from glasses and vases to chandeliers, sconces, and gorgeous glass bowls. Amazing!
This is an amazing place to go to see one of a kind items made from blown glass. Dont look for the little glass animals here. Instead look for bowls and vases and light globes that are unlike anything you have ever seen anywhere else. There is some reasonably priced jewelry but expect to pay a good price for any of the other hand crafted items. This is not a discount store but rather caters to those with lots of money and expensive taste.
Cool to get to watch the glass blowers create their art and discuss the process with the audience. The pieces made were excellent quality and very high dollar. Too rich for my blood, but Id still recommend it.
This place gives tours of their glass blowing workshop which are truly amazing and enjoyable, even for young children. Plus, they make incredibly beautiful, high quality, art pieces which are on display and for sale in their gallery.
Really neat seeing how they make the glass. Stunning works of art
Great afternoon with Tim describing the steps they were talking to make this vase. Such a beautiful store. Make sure you bring your .
A trip to Wimberley is not complete without stopping here and watching artists create beautiful hand blown glass
Took the kids out this weekend to check out Wimberley Glassworks. Very incredible experience! Watching the master craftsman blow the glass live was truly amazing! Was definitely worth surviving the heat in their glassworks workshop to see the live demonstration! For anyone visiting the area, definitely recommend stopping by and seeing the amazing works they have created!
Check the website for when the artists are actually working. It was fun and educational to watch them blowing glass. Better to do in a cooler month due to the 2100 degree kiln. Bought a hummingbird feeder that is beautiful and utile, plus the Hummers love it. My daughter bought a vase that is lovely.
Excellent glass shop. Lots of great gift ideas. The staff is nice and helpful. They also have jewelry - necklaces and earrings.
Dont miss the glass blowing demonstration! Amazing experience.
The live demonstrations will blow your mind. Something for everyone to buy. Knowing every piece is hand made is awesome. We loved watching and owner encourages you to ask questions. Will stop by again.
Super nice place and very friendly staff.
Very artistic and beautiful. $$$$ out of 5$
You can watch the glassblowers at work in the hot shop creating beautiful glass art. Very fascinating and worth the trip out here!
Everything in there was just beautiful beyond description. You could see the artisans working creating the works of art for display in the showroom. All the people working there were very nice and accommodating to visitors.
Tim put up such a great demo, its a must see!
This place is a must see! The showroom is full of beautiful, practical glass art of all types and prices and watching the artists work is mesmerizing!
The demo was interesting. Several nice pieces available for purchase in the store
Loved it. Got to watch how they work. Very cool
Really nice work
Wimberley Glassworks is a pretty incredible place. If you have the chance to go to a demonstration you need to go. Ive been a couple of times now and the demonstrators are always so descriptive and engaging with their audience. Its amazing to watch.They have beautiful items for sale in their shop as well, but they are all INCREDIBLY expensive.
Beautiful work! Will order some jewlery pieces
My wife and I came to just look around and potentially watch a show. The staff is all very welcoming and the glasswork is very beautiful. We were able to catch a demonstration and it was definitely an experience to not miss out on if youre in the area. You can tell that Tim loves his work and that comes out in the demonstration. He and everyone else there was excited to explain and share how the artwork becomes a realty. Overall, I would highly recommend Wimberley Glassworks!
What an awesome place! The glass blowing demonstration was a blast... we were introduced to what is truly an art. Im amazed at what they can do with glass. Beautiful pieces of work.
This place is worth visiting even if youre not in the market for the products. The beautiful drive through Wimberley alone makes the trip worth it. Its all expensive. But they have some of the coolest, most beautiful glass work Ive imagined. Also they let you watch the glass being made which is a special treat NY itself!
Always a great place to take visitors! Staff is friendly .Love to shop local!
Very cute place. They also have free viewing of glassblowing. I loved visiting this place!
Beautiful showroom, enjoyed the demonstration.
Being able to watch the demonstration was excellent. The pieces on display were beautiful, and the staff was friendly.
Amazing glass work and ware. Well worth the trip just outside of town. Got some great decorating ideas....measuring as we speak.
Great shop that does in house glass blowing. Got the chance to watch it live and have to say the team is very skilled and professional at what they do. Starting from molten glass to a well sculptured mug in just a few minutes is a marvel to watch. Custom orders available.
Amazing! The glass blowing demonstration was so much fun to watch! I really want to come back here!!
Great glass pieces... Very pleasant and friendly service!
The glass art is absolutely beautiful. Great prices. The jewelry is so colorful. Wonderfully crafted.
Great glass shop, incredible things to buy or order. Go while theyre blowing glass, its hot but interesting.
Very good pieces for lamps, table decoration, a lot variety.
Beautiful pieces and the glass blowing demonstration is something to see. Very upscale, but very friendly and helpful people. A definite must see and do place.
Fun stop especially when the weather is cooler. Fun to watch the glass blowing team and drool over the wonderful creations in the show room
Cool spot to watch glass being blown. Picked up a few gifts for Xmas as well
Really nice people and a pleasure to watch below glass
There are a lot of interesting unique items.
Amazing and beautiful glass work. Friendly staff. Highly recommend the live glass blowing demonstration.
Incredible craftsmanship, and get there at the right time and you can watch them blowing glass.. really cool!
Loved there work . Great place to take children for the exhibitions.
Excellent products. Very friendly. Very welcoming. Highly recommended!
Simply amazing. We watched the demonstration and it was really neat. Hot as heck.
Such a fun place to visit. The glass is beautiful and it is amazing to watch the glassblowing demonstrations!
Really neat to watch the glass blowing demonstration. Definitely worth the trip.
Interested in Glass blowing, then the demonstration will not disappoint, the staff were excellent hosts, the the Glass blowing was excellent
Equal parts gallery and demonstration, its worth arriving early in the day. The glasswork is astoundingly beautiful - be it lighting, accent pieces, vases/dishes, or stained glass.
Took second graders there for a field trip, and it was incredible! Beautiful art everywhere and the demonstration was epic. I highly recommend!
I signed up for the glass blowing class. I had a great instructor. Learned about the history of glass blowing.. Got to blow a glass bubble. Our instructor then allowed us to choose to make a paperweight or a flower. We had a selection of a bunch of colors. I have not picked my finished piece up. (It has to cool for at least a day at a controlled rate.)
Beautiful glass work and on going demonstrations.
Beautiful place, great show, awesome items!
Incredible art glass. The demonstration was like watching a finely choreographed dance and at the end was a stunning piece of art that doubled as a lamp shade.
Beautiful glass work. They show how they make the pieces. Dont miss the show!!
Tim is a fantastic host. He gave us a demonstration, for only two people, and we were enthralled. Either go in the winter or prepare to sweat. The kiln operates at 2100°. (Any day but Tuesday, no more glassblowing demos on Tuesday effective fall 2018.)If youre having meetings or conventions in San Marcos and need a side-trip, make sure you stop here. Beautiful gallery, interesting demo and super people.
