Flame Run

Staff was very helpful and kind. Great experience. Took my husband for his birthday while in Louisville on vacation and he loved making his own bourbon glass and I did one too. They turned out really cool and we couldn’t wait to have a drink out of them. Steven really encouraged our creativity and was a great way to start our day. Plus it was very warm in there compared to being outside! I had made a “reservation” in advance and was able to schedule the ideal day and time for us. Would definitely recommend!

Such a cool experience! The artist was great and explained everything he was doing so we felt very involved in the process! It was cool to be up close and personal to witness the artistic experience!
The gallery is also very interesting with a lot of unique pieces!
All in all, amazing experience! Glad we added this to our list for this trip to Louisville!

This is by far one of the coolest and most unique experiences you could probably do. Even if you know nothing about glass blowing it is very interesting to learn and see an expert up close. They also explain what they are doing and why, so it feels interactive. The staff is friendly and make you feel welcomed. It's worth the price they are asking and they have a cool art gallery as you are waiting for your turn or on your way out.

Going to Flame run and getting to accomplish a life long dream of mine has been such a blessing. I've taken 2 classes here. The first time was around the holidays and the second was last week. I had an awesome experience both times! The first time I was able to make a glass galaxy globe. The second visit I was taught how to blow glass and I made an ornament as well as a bowl! I had an amazing time and plan to come back again!!

Got the glass blowing lesson! Never done any glass crafting before and it was so exciting to do this!!! The instructor, Adam was great at explaining and demonstrating while making sure I was keeping safe. Really appreciated how much he made sure I left with a really nice souvenir of the experience. I’m so delighted on how the cup turned out! Can’t wait to do this again sometime!!!!

This experience was so much fun. We made 2 galaxy paperweights and 1 bourbon glass. Stephen made it super easy and talked us through each step. He did most of the work (all of it except picking colors and design on the bourbon glass), so you can’t mess it up. We are so excited to see our finished items once they cool down. I’d love to do this again on our next trip to Louisville.

I had a create your own stemless wine glass experience and they turned out just breathtaking. You are right on the floor of the hot shop, and can see every step of your creation, as well as ask lots of questions. This is definitely a one of a kind experience, and, if you know of someone who's hard to shop for, a gift certificate for this experience would be a fabulous choice.

My family worked with Steven to create 4 unique pieces. He was helpful, patient, knowledgeable and worked hard to educate us as he created beautiful items. Loved every second of it and look forward to going back!

By far, one of the coolest places I've been in Louisville! Highly recommend it if glass blowing interests you or if you want to find a one of a kind gift!

Very cool place and awesome experience! We made galaxy orbs and a bourbon glass. It was very cool to experience and I highly recommend it!

Had the best experience getting a tour from owner Brook and taking a lesson with Adam! 10/10 would return for more lessons and to buy gifts whenever I am back in town. Really beautiful glass pieces for sale. And super enjoyed the lesson on how to make a glass orb or paperweight! It was easy, safe and fun.

Our family suffered a great loss. We were at a loss for how to memorialize our dear loved one. The experience also helped all of us seek closure.

We had a really nice time on a rainy day with our family here at Flame Run. We got to pick the style, color and design of what we wanted made. This place offers great customer service and they were very imformative. We got to get up close to be able to see how they were forming our piece. Because of Covid we couldn't actually blow the glass, but still were able to be up close. Once the piece cooled down, we picked it up the next day ( they can also ship, if needed). Overall it was a great experience.

If you choose to create a paper weight, you get to twist and turn the glass. The glass blowers were very friendly, and they explained each step of the process. You see everything up close (not too close - the liquid glass is a couple thousand degrees). You are allowed to take pictures and videos. Me and my friends had a great time! Highly recommend!!

Had a great time and an amazing experience!

When I went there to book the "make your own glass" experience, they unfortunately didn't offer any tours that time since they were very busy with a big order for bourbon glasses. But I was invited to the workshop and could stay and watch them work as long as I wanted. They were all super kind, I asked many questions and took so many pics! I'll be definitely back to do the experience next time I'm in Louisville!

Definitely worth the trip to see this! The viewing area is a great experience, they have an amazing variety of pieces of art displayed, and the staff is very friendly!

What a great experience. We did the blow your own glass experience and it was a lot of fun. If you get the chance you should. And the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

So many reasons why this place is awesome. Set up everything with Tiffany and she showed me samples of everything to get an idea. After some wild ideas I had, she helped me tone it down to understand the properties of what the glass can and cannot do. John Stokes worked with me on Spirit Pieces for one of my dogs. He was so respectful, knowledgable and just all around awesome. Because of the hot shop they work in, the shop walls are open. He put a cover over the ashes so the wind wouldn't blow them away. I didn't think about that at the time but just that small touch was thought out in a away that I didn't-- in grief. I got two hearts done. He worked with me from start to finish and let me in on the creative process. Each heart is completely different which attests to both his technique as well as what the glass just "does" in the fire. Just go with it and it becomes more awesome. I was able to choose colors etc. and he was nice enough to tell me what colors look like after. Meaning in the jar vs in the fire. I appreciated that because once it goes in the fire it's too late. You really dont know what the fire will do. You just trust. And let crafter do what they know how to do. That's the beauty of it. Several days later once cooled the piece actually comes out better than what you first see. All around they're just cool peeps! Rave, rave, rave!!! I'll be back! Just go!

I loved watching them make the glass and knowing that one day this art will be in my home
