When you walk by the center, you are drawn to the smiles, conversations, and the wonderfully creative adventures unfolding in the center. I always look forward to the new ideas the center comes up with to get folks of all ages and abilities to explore and join in. The Industrial Arts Center is a unique and welcoming happening in our community.”

From Living Social 2012

“AWESOME”

“It was fun as well as a learning experience.”

“It is inspired a couple of the kids to inquire about summer camps for glass blowing.”

“I had a fantastic experience at the Industrial Arts Center! I used my Living Social voucher to make a glass paper weight, and enjoyed the experience so much that I immediately purchased another class, which allowed me to make a blown glass vase. The instructor was friendly, patient, encouraging, perfect!”
