Prepare to accelerate your appreciation for the craft of hand-made art when you visit one of the best glassblowing facilities in South Carolina. For art lovers, making your very own hand blown ornament, vase, pumpkin, paperweight, and more is only a short drive away at Conway Glass, a custom glassblowing studio that also hosts classes and workshops.
If you (or someone you know) have always wanted to watch or learn the gentle art of old-fashioned hot oven glassblowing, then Conway Glass is the place to make those dreams come true.
Opened in 1986, the studio is the lifeline of husband and wife team, Ed and Barbara, who create beautiful hand blow creations, stained glass works, and more for a living.
On the first Saturday of the month (October through March only), Ed and Barbara perform their craft for the masses. You can sit and watch in awe as large bowls, goblets, vases, and more come to life before your eyes under the expert creations of the duo. But watching isn't all you can do at Conway Glass...
Throughout the season, there are several different glassblowing classes you can join. Make a holiday ornament, a bowl, a vase, paperweight, a large flowering bowl, and...
Classes range from beginner classes to those more advanced. You can start with a 15-minute ornament making class ($35), or sign up for a more extensive Glassblowing 101 2.5-hour class ($350). Classes of all lengths and costs are available in between, too. (Find a complete list on this page of their official website.)
Conway Glass is located in the beautiful river town of Conway, South Carolina, only 15 minutes or so from Myrtle Beach. Visiting from out of state? You can't go back home without making your paperweight, right?!
Conway Glass is open year-round Tuesday through Saturday, but their demos and glassblowing classes are offered only on designated dates during the cooler months of the year (from October through Match only). Sign up for a class and learn more about the fascinating offerings at Conway Glass from their website! You can also follow the Facebook page to learn more.
