For anyone that is looking to experience the art of glass blowing in the Seattle/Tacoma area....I strongly recommend visiting TGS (Tacoma Glassblowing Studio). During my vacation, my friend and I decided we wanted to try our hand at blowing our own glass piece. TGS allowed us to create our own piece alongside an instructor (he did the hard stuff)........it was really a cool experience!!! Not only did we get to experience making a glass piece (I made a beautiful bowl and got to pick out the colors), but we also got the chance to see their glass blowers create some incredible pieces! \r

It truly was eye-opening to view art being made (and now we get why its so expensive to buy this art! but well worth it!). Jeannine and Mark (the owners) were truly sweet and down to earth ....they made our visit memorable. If you're interested in doing something out of the ordinary......there's more to the Seattle/Tacoma area than the space needle.........have fun!
Pros: Easy to find, really nice people, unique experience
Cons: Not much
