Glassblowing at Third Degree Glass Factory

Local glass artist Mike Hayes of Third Degree Glass Factory is a bona fide glass blowing wizard. This virtuoso, equipped with his blowtorch and purple safety goggles, cranks out works of art without even breaking a sweat. With only the company of his sleepy dog, Kink, Hayes produces all types of lovely glass items – including bowls and vases – which can be purchased in the Glass Factory’s gallery.

A Spooky Night at Third Degree Glass Factory

With fire, pumpkins and bewitching glass manipulation, Third Degree Glass Factory's "Third Friday" event for October was a spooktacular way to enjoy the Halloween season. On October 17, 2014, artisans treated attendees to glass-blowing demonstrations, live music, a performance by the St. Louis Fire Technicians and much more. In addition, Third Degree and Astral Glass Studio battled it out in a "pumpkin death match," with the audience choosing which team created the better glass pumpkin. The event was part of American Craft Week, a national event to raise awareness of American fine craft.
