My girlfriend surprised me for my birthday with a day of making glass art at Hot Shop! We had so much fun and Bryan and Natalie were awesome to work with. I had no idea this place existed before today but I’m getting the word out if you’re looking for a unique experience of making some beautiful art this is your place. It was hands on and Bryan explained the process and steps of everything we were doing. Please check this place out you won’t be disappointed!
Hot Shop in Valparaiso, IN is a MUST!!! We met Brian the owner and Natalie today and the entire experience was like nothing we’ve ever done before! Great people, so knowledgeable and also made it tons of fun. We had our family (group of 10) and everyone loved learning and socializing the entire time. The glass art pieces that they have for sale in the gallery are absolutely gorgeous and the creations that you can make during the class are one of a kind! This is such a gem in downtown Valpo! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next date night, corporate retreat, girls/guys night or just to learn a new skill! We loved The Hot Shop in Valparaiso!!
I recently did the Christmas ornament class and it was the best experience! Not only did we end up with amazing ornaments but we had the best time. Brian and Natalie did such a great job teaching us while keeping it entertaining. I couldn’t recommend Hot Shop Valpo enough. I will definitely be back in the future!
Such a great experience! Our group had an amazing time creating pumpkins— it was fun, hands-on, and something truly unique. The hospitality was outstanding, and the staff made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. They were friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. We couldn’t have asked for a better time. Highly recommend this place for a group activity or special outing! Definitely will do again!
Brian worked with me to design my own glass blown urn. He and Caroline worked together in a "beautiful dance with the fire and molten glass" that was amazing to watch. I was able to join in and pull a design into the glass and be a part of the process.
Everyone there is glad to share what they know about glass blowing. They offer classes and have a shop where you can purchase these beautiful pieces of art. It is an experience just to stop by.
