My husband and I had our destination wedding on Whidbey Island with our immediate family in attendance. We decided to schedule Callahan's "Blow your own glass" as a group activity the day after the wedding. We had a group of about 14 people who wanted to participate. Callahan and his team did such a great job with wrangling our large group and giving everyone their own personal attention. We were able to pick what we wanted to make and the colors of glass we wanted to use. They mailed all of our pieces back to New Mexico for us when we returned and the delivery was timely and all of the glass made it in one piece! I definitely recommend Callahan's Firehouse for both "blow your own glass" and for browsing their beautiful gallery and shop. My husband and I look forward to returning for our anniversaries to come!
You can blow your own glass here. Lots of nice glass both artistic and functional. Reasonable prices too.
We had so much fun doing this. Four kids and two adults and everyone was happy. It's as fun to watch as to participate. Guys were really nice and friendly and it's quick, not a huge time commitment. I wish this wasn't listed under shopping - more of an attraction I think. There is plenty to buy, of course, but it's fun to wander in and watch.
Gorgeous works of art made on premises often while you watch. And a wonderful dog for the kids to play with while you are shopping.
Very unique place and extremely creative. Friendly owner/artist. It's always nice to be able to meet the artist and I enjoyed chatting with him about his art.
You can learn to blow glass too! I love his pieces for your garden. At home, they remind me of traveling to Whidbey and my wonderful experiences on the island.
Glass was pretty and decently priced. Salesgirl was kind. The man in with the blowing equipment was less than nice. Kinda impersonal, wouldn't tell us if they were blowing today. Couldn't care less to even provide a smile or apology. Why give your money somewhere that is so bad with service? There glass wasn't that cool. The location rocked.
We love our glassware from Callahan's! I enjoy drinking out of it everyday. The owner also contributes to the community through a glass float event. I like that- artistry and community mindedness.
An artistic object to have as a take away after a brief education in glass. Wow. Callahan is cordial, informative and fun.
had a great time watching the glass works going on! Beautiful things to sell. and the staff was interesting, they told us what they were doing with each step. It was fun!
