When I arrived, for the first time to Wimberley, TX, one of the first unique attraction spots I discovered and decided to check out was Wimberley Glassworks! Wimberley Glassworks is a popular glass artwork gallery and studio. It has hundreds of beautiful glasswork sculpture designs out for display, that is also available to purchase. This attraction made it on my list because not only is it enjoyable looking at beautiful art, but it also gives you the entertaining opportunity to witness the process behind part of the sculpture’s creation. While visiting, that’s when I discovered that some of the artists of the famous glasswork, also display a live showing for the customers to enjoy. During the showing, the artists demonstrate to the audience behind the process of how the sculptures are truly made—allowing the unique experience of making the designs right in front of you. This all happened right in front of my eyes! Not only did it sell unique glasswork, but it also allowed the visitor to experience an interesting moment of getting a look into the behind the scenes of the glassblowing! I found that pretty entreating, and felt like other Wimberley visitors would enjoy this experience. While being there, I also got to learn some of Wimberley Glassworks’ history! Owner Tim Jong was what started it all, from what began as a small shop, with a couple of lawn chairs for visitors to enjoy glassblowing, has now developed into an airconditioned studio and gallery room with seating up to 90 people. It was enjoyable visiting a business that grew from the grown-up! I feel like others would appreciate learning the history behind a business that once wasn’t so well known. While also enjoying the unique experience of seeing the craft of blown glass, that I got to experience while visiting Wimberley, Texas. Therefore, I recommended others to visit this unique glasswork gallery, while in Wimberley and looking for something different to do.
