Claire, a Baltimore local, made a trip to McFadden Art Glass with friends and loved it. Here’s what she had to say:

“This weekend the ladies of KAT special made our way through the city to McFadden Art Glass. Every other Friday Tim McFadden (owner, artist) opens his studio doors to the public so we can watch as 2000 degree liquid turns into something wonderful.

We brought a few bottles of wine, our conversation and our curiosity and had a great time! It’s a laid back atmosphere that interests all types of people from the cutest babies, to older couples, to twenty somethings. We watched (and chatted) as Tim and friends created an awesome vase, a flower, a pumpkin and an ornament. Onlookers have a chance to create their own work of art for $35, which we skipped this time but agreed that we’d all like to come back at holiday time to create an ornament!

When the temperature rose, which it did… think Bikram yoga… we scooted next door to The Glass Grill which is also owned by McFadden and family. The bar had some good live entertainment and the yummy bar food we were after. It has an eclectic crowd and great decor (glass of course).

There is a gallery on site for those who want to take home a souvenir.

The ladies of KAT special had a blast at the Glass Grill and at the glass studio. One of America’s oldest trades has certainly evolved into something very cool!”
