East Falls Glassworks is greater Philadelphia's largest studio and gallery dedicated to hot glass.
Our goal is to encourage the art and craft of glass blowing within the Philadelphia community. We are a public access glass studio offering glassblowing classes, studio rental and work for sale by local glass artists.The glassblowing studio is located at Sherman Mills in East Falls, near Manayunk, about 7 minutes from the Philadelphia Art Museum. East Falls Glassworks is convenient to Center City Philadelphia, New Jersey, the Main Line and surrounding suburbs. Our glassblowing community extends across Pennsylvania and reaches into Delaware and New York.

East Falls Glassworks will be closing for most of August. We will be busy during that time maintaining equipment and building new equipment to improve the shop.

Visit Our Glass Studio, Watch Live Glassblowing
We welcome the public to visit us any time we are working and watch us transform molten glass into works of art. The studio is set up with a designated viewing area and we offer a special 'behind-the-scenes' tour between pieces. During your visit, make sure you check out the East Falls Glassworks gallery, which displays a large collection of glass art made by Philadelphia area artists. If you are looking for something for a special person, we've created a page with glass-related gift ideas.
