Hoogs and Crawford Glass

Wasn’t doing any glassblowing the day we were there, a few items of glassware for
sale in the shop, glass of this beauty and quality is expensive though.

My wife and I visited for a 2 hour lesson. It was a fabulous time. We each made two pieces. We were able to go through the entire process. We will return for another lesson when we are back in the area. The owners are very friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable in their craft.

We had an amazing time!! First things first, as novice glass people, be prepared to go back to get your piece or possibly pay for shipping!! Nate was very responsive over email with questions beforehand. Studio was very clean, great air flow, great lighting, handicap friendly. All that said, it is small, but the perfect size. Glass making gets hot!!! I Recommend earlier in the day. Also recommend sneakers but I don't know if it's required. Sunglasses are a must. No seating or public bathrooms, but if you have kids they may be accommodating. The website is very good too. Nate was so calm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. The class lasted about an hour for two people making individual ornaments. My 11-year-old and 8-year-old had an amazing time making ornaments. Was extremely hands-on. Great for a gift for, experience. Also many wonderful pieces for sale. Glass is not an inexpensive art. Seeing and learning how it works really, really helps you appreciate the cost of the craftsmanship. Wonderful part of the day trip. Part of a trip to Shaker museum or an overnight in the Berkshires. Just remember to go back and get your pieces!!

Stopped by with my wife just to check things out and maybe pick up an ornament. Somehow we ended up asking the owners/artists to convert a lamp to a pendant light and make us a matching second one so they can both hang in the kitchen.
The owners are very friendly and we are psyched to have these 2 pieces on display!

My wife and I have purchased multiple pieces from Hoogs and Crawford Glass for things that are unique to our home. So when we remodeled our Kitchen we knew their was only one place for our pendent lights to be purchased. We meet with Nathan and Elizabeth and they made these hand blown pendent lights and they have become a center point of our remodel. You will not be disappointed.
