This working glass-blowing studio on Baldwin Avenue in Makawao is absolutely mesmerizing to watch. Owner Chris is a master craftsman who'll happily explain the entire process while he shapes molten glass into ocean-inspired vases, bowls, and sculptures. You can literally sit there for an hour without realizing it — the skill and artistry is captivating.
The gallery pieces are genuine art at surprisingly reasonable prices compared to resort shops. If you want to try it yourself, the hands-on glass-blowing experiences let you create your own ornament under expert guidance. They're also happy to do commissioned pieces and will honestly tell you if your idea will work or not.
