Hollywood Hot Glass

Recently had a date night here and it was really really cool. We showed up late but the staff was friendly and let us start to make a sculpture anyways. We made a flower, it was a good experience and pretty reasonable. I want to go back and make something else. The whole space is really modern and there was an outdoor concert right next door which made it even cooler

All of the workers are Super nice, Doreen (the one that helped us) was very kind and helpful. Made you feel comfortable right away. Will be coming back for more hot glass experiences. I made a flower and my boyfriend made a paper weight. Loved it !!

Such a unique and interesting place. Get there during the glass blowing showing or take a class. Great time if you’re looking for something different or would like to impress a date

Hollywood Hot Glass was an absolute blast! We made a heart via their Groupon ‘Valentines Day special’. Our instructor Dorrian was very helpful, and energetic. She did a great job explaining what we were doing and how to do it. It’s a great place for a date night and will definitely leave us both with some amazing memories! Highly highly recommend!

Took my father here when he came down for a visit and I’m so glad I did! We had always wanted to «blow glass» but didn’t think we’d ever find a place that would let us take part. This was an awesome experience. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They gladly let me take a hundred pictures right there on the floor. And prices were beyond reasonable. I made a large flower with 3 colors for 40. My dad made a tumbler with 3 colors for 55. We requested his be shipped which is an additional 30 but figured it was worth it since they are experienced in shipping glass. I’m already trying to get my next house guest to go just so I can do it again! Very Pleased!!!

First experience working with glass. Our artist was Dorian who was fun, funny, encouraging and knowledgeable. We both made tumblers. It was a really great and exciting experience. Would totally go again.

I was visiting my daughter and son in law for Christmas and they gave me a gift card to this place. My daughter and I had a great time doing this. The owner, Breanna, was great at her craft and also about explaining and demonstrating the process. I got to form a glass flower. It was like pulling taffy. It looked bright orange until it cools. Due to the holiday I won’t get to get to pick it up for a few more days because it has to cool, but it’s worth the wait. I can’t wait to see how my colors turned out. This is a great experience and she couldn’t have been nicer. She was also great a few weeks ago when I had also ordered a gift certificate for my daughter and her hubby on line. It was an awesome shared experience. I will definitely go back the next time I’m here. PS. Due to the intense heat and skill needed, the only thing I didn’t do was put it into the high temp. oven. I did everything else so it was perfect and safe. The owner even had on flip flops. I definitely wore sneakers, just in case, lol. Awesome!!!

We had a GREAT time and experience with Dorian, our teacher. She was fun, passionate and of course «safety first» with all aspects of the hot glass even though I have a somewhat fear of fire and heat. =) We made beautiful ruffle bowls, two of us made within about an hour or so, each lesson is maybe 30 minutes or so? We arrived during a busy Thursday and had some others in front of us so had about 1 hour wait, but easy peasy as DT Hollywood is right there in walking distance, so had some food and a beer and came back. The learning experience was awesome. Enlightening to know how to use a «historical» process that has basically been done in similar fashion for many years! Bowls came out beautiful, and I would highly suggest making your own piece for holiday gifts! Also, note, you will have to return a day or so later depending on your schedule as the glass needs to cool before you take it home!

The BEST time! Worth the experience and the time, great teacher too. Made two tumblers in about an hours time, arrived just about 7pm when she was starting so very little wait but just enough to watch others doing their pieced so to understand the process a bit. Good instruction and safe.

My wife and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary by creating a heart-​shaped paperweight in a private class at Hollywood Hot Glass. All I can say is it was the absolute perfect way to commemorate the occasion. Dorian helped us fashion a spectacular, one-​of-​a-​kind piece of art that we will cherish for years to come. She was personable, professional, and attentive, and truly made our weekend special. Thank you, Dorian and Hollywood Hot Glass for an exceptionally memorable experience. We’d love to do it again, and recommend them highly to anyone interested in a unique experience that explores and celebrates art, beauty, and life through a fascinating medium.

This class was amazing! Dorian was extremely nice, helpful and informative when it came to all the questions my boyfriend asked (and he asked tons!). She made us feel part of the glass flower creation that we are very proud of. Dorian allowed us to be as involved as safety allowed us… I would definitely recommend it to anyone to try.

Love Hollywood Hot Glass!!! Their Walk In Workshops are a great way to learn glass blowing basics AND you get to take home what you made!!! The staff is super friendly and so talented! I keep going back for more!

These people don’t ever answer their phone or return calls when trying to book your private party… Warning! Red Flag! Don’t buy their coupon on Groupon– you will never be able to use it!

It was a fun experience, making glass sculptures, but it’s not very interactive. I guess that’s the nature of the beast, but maybe you should rethink calling them «workshops». My flower came out looking nothing like the demo flower, and it makes
me sad. I fault this a lot to all the background noise and loud music making it very difficult to hear the instructions.

If you’re looking for something unique to try, stop by Hollywood Hot Glass! Not only is the experience itself a delight to be apart of, but our expert gaffer Dorian made it exceptionally special for us! We will definitely be back-​especially to take out of town guests! Would give 10 stars if I could.

Went there last month and it was the highlight of our trip to Miami! Everyone in my group ended up taking a class, but even watching total strangers make Christmas ornaments or tumblers was fun!
Josh was our instructor and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher for my first attempt at glass blowing. Before you start, he tells you what the process is going to be, then he guides you through the actual process, giving helpful advice along the way. I was actually nervous about working with the hot glass but by the time it was over I was ready to sign up again! The hard part is waiting to see what your piece will look like once the glass has cooled down!
The instructors also do demonstrations on more difficult pieces which is amazing to watch! They have a gallery at the studio where you can buy pieces by the artists who work there. If you’re in the area you need to go there, whether to shop, catch a class or watch the magic happen!
They had live music in the park the night we were there (I think they have live Music every Friday and Saturday night) and tons of restaurants within walking distance. It was just really a great experience!

Did this about a year ago and it was really cool! Sort of stumbled onto it really. Gf and I went and it took roughly 30 min or so. The guy there was helpful and nice. At the time we got to pick from like three different shapes to do and we both chose flower petal and stem. I would definitely recommend it and it’s a great different experience!

You gotta try this!!! I stopped by here with my girlfriend on a Monday night (after the food truck gathering in the same park) to watch what we thought would be a demonstration of glass blowing… And ended up being part of the show!!! For only $ 30, we actually got to make our own glass art.
The staff was very friendly and the whole experience was great fun!!! We now have great memories and some really cool souvenirs!!! I will DEFINATELY come back again!

I took my entire family (husband, a 13 yr old, a 10 year old and an 8 year old) there for a fun Saturday activity. We had an AMAZING time. We decided to do 3 projects. My husband and I had our own and let the 13 year old and 10 year old work together (the 8 year old decided to be a spectator).
They take care of all the scary things like getting the glass and placing the pipes in the furnace. They talk to you about what you’re doing and help you with each step so your project will look amazing. Everyone in my group had a fantastic time. If you have the time to make it out to Hollywood Hot Glass, you should it is an amazing experience.

My wife surprised me with a birthday present to head here for my very own glass blowing experience. We went on a Monday night to enjoy the crowd for the food trunk event.
Got there right at 7pm when they opened and were greeted right away. Real hassle free start the evening. Fill out a little form. Pick your project and head to the main room.
The staff working with me really explained each step of the process. Most heating parts are handled by them. Which is fine with me. I got to select up to 3 colors for the glass, roll the glass out, snip the glass and mold the shape while the staff held the bar and continually rolled to make sure the project didn’t fall out of shape.
If you can stand the heat in the Florida humidity it’s definitely worth it. Prices range from $ 30 for a medium size flower up to a $ 150 for a large heart. Vases, paper weights, bowls, etc… Just need to wait up to 2 days to go back and pick it up.
Thanks to the staff for making this a great birthday surprise!
