We didnt go into the shop. We just walked around the site. The murals werent part of the shop. Its worth going to see the works done by the artists in the buildings that make up the complex. We didnt have enough time do really appreciate the place. Please do!

Mountain glass is the only place when it comes to glass materials. Everyone is always so helpful. Chris always points out all the new candy and pushes me to up my game. But every time across anyone working they make sure I know where to find what Im looking for... which is great because I never know what Im looking for. 5 stars all day every day! Thank you mountain glass for being awesome!

I buy from Mountain Glass regularly & couldnt be happier. The team is prompt, the order is always correct, and the glass is packaged well. Ive never received a broken tube or rod in the mail when they ship it! Their prices are competitive, and even if its not always the cheapest, their service is top notch and worth the extra couple bucks. Whenever they notice something unusual about an order, they call me to discuss it and make sure I meant to send the order I did. In particular, Id like to give a shout out to Heather today who called me to let me know I could adjust my shipping option to get the same service for less $$!

My poor boyfriend. He is a glass blower and we drive from Johnson City to do the sad state of picking up purchases here. Every time it is very standoffish and you never know what quality of items you will get. Example - he ordered a rod of specialty glass and it was thin and then thick in the middle and all “messed up,” completely useless for his purpose. I do wish they would take the Ashville sticks up their butts and open up in store shopping at this point.

Its always something with this place. Ive had issues with these guys since day 1 I started melting glass. Super expensive, shipping is absolutely ridiculous. Couldnt even walk in to pick out what rods or tubes I needed. Make sure you weigh, caliper, and inspect your order. Lampwork supply online is a way better option.

One of the staff, Miller, was incredibly helpful and answered every question I had. He went out of his way to help me with my order and is a great customer service representative. If you order any type of glass or any tools to work with it, I recommend this company for their wide range of knowledge and their customer service.

After ordering some confusion on shipping occurred. It was put correct and shipped immediately. Shop this company with 100% confidence. Ive been buying my supplies from MGA for over 17 years now and NOT ONCE was there a mistake, bad packaging .... nada .... and should something go astray in the process it was immediately corrected. TY and A+ service as usual MGA.

Review №19

Best supplier in the business- ive been a fan and customer for nearly 10 years and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Ive tried out the competition; the competition will muck it up every time. If MGA mucks something up (we all do) they make it right and in the end you dont feel mucked with, or mucked over. MGA truly gives a... duck.

You know what we really appreciate? This company taking the time and effort to correctly package all of our delicate glass, tools, equipment into 2 large boxes. We have had a terrible time purchasing items that arrive broken from other glass providers and want to thank Dustin and Miller for going above and beyond to make our order perfect. We will be buying from this company from now on!!

Mountain glass arts has been nothing but amazing to order from since i started flameworking. Fast shipping and always accurate. Im just starting out so i order a bunch of colors but only 1 or 2 ounces of said colored glass at a time and they have always got my orders right. They call you promptly if something is up with the order which is a great courtesy. They are everything you want in a company.

Review №23

These guys are the best. The products are always packed perfectly and the quality is on point every time. But I don’t even care about the glass right now. The customer service these guys dish out is out of this world. They care about their customers and every package feels like it’s from a friend when I open it.

Review №24

Absolutely the most amazing service. These people truly care about their customers. We drove 2 and a half hours from South Carolina, got held up in traffic and barely got there 15 minutes before they closed on a Friday evening. Three employees stayed late and took the time to help us find what we needed. We will be buying from them again. Thanks Guys for everything.

Literally the best customer service ive ever had with any online store. The staff are very kind and willing to help.

Mountain Glass has amazing customer service! Huge selection! Staff is friendly and always welcomes any questions. I have been making my own jewelry and they have just about everything I need for wrapping my pendants and crystals. Plus much more for beading and kits with tutorials that make the process of making your own beads so much easier. I love their opal selection omg!!! Pink, Blue, Clear, Red, Orange, Green, RGB, Black, White, and more. All colors in different sizes too plus facet Blue opal adds to any piece to give it that sparkle eye catcher

Review №27

Customer service A++. Great selection of product, and great customer service. These guys make it right even when its no fault of their own. Weekly & monthly sales make it my preferred glass shop. (I do have to admit though UPS is not my favorite shipping method but its the most economical so UPS gets 1 star)

Review №28

Rarely have I come across a company that actually seems to care about their customers, but Mountain Glass is truly all that and a bag of chips. Call them up and a real live person answers (who is knowledgeable to boot.) Every order Ive ever made with them has arrived quickly (2 days max) and accurately. Best glass wholesalers in the business!-Glass Rage Studio

One stop shopping for everything glassblowing. You need an account to shop here and their is a yearly minimum to have an account. No glassblowing lessons of any kind. Very helpful staff. Dress for the weather outside as it is a huge wear house and it feels like it open air. Smile cuz your on camera!

Bought Y oxygen connector about three months ago. Since time of purchase havent had the chance to use the item until last week. Upon hooking the Y oxygen connector up determined the item has a manufacture defect, tubing through the Y connect is solidly sealed off. No oxygen was able to pass through the Y connect. Felt skittish on how returning this piece three months from time of purchase would go over. Reached out to Mountain Glass, they were completely apologetic and more than willing to exchange the item for a new replacement. My experience onsite and online has been nothing short of a wonderful experience. Cant be happier with Mountain Glass Arts being my glass supplier. Thank you!

Mountain Glass Arts has the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. Extremely professional, timely, and organized. They are one of the few glass websites that have their out of stock and in stock statuses truthfully presented at all times.Their shipping is timely and ON POINT every single time. Never had one issue, and they ship faster than most sites. Their emails are helpful, interesting, and full of great information on specials. They have fair prices and they price match!They have all the great brands for high quality glass, tools, and equipment. They also have a professional and high quality catalog they put out.I just wish I lived close enough to go in person!Bonus: they do giveaways on occasion. Amazing and generous ones.100% CANNOT GO WRONG BUYING FROM MOUNTAIN GLASS! Cant help but feel this review is an understatement, because I cant express what a GREAT COMPANY they are!!-Emily Colavita

This is the best glass color supply company. I order from many companies throughout the country and the world. The fact that there selection includes color, tubing, soft glass and multiple companies. I can therefore select multiple items for one order, simplify online ordering. I highly recommend them, and great sales!

Always an amazing experience - the quality and selection is always there and everyone at Mountain Glass is ridiculously knowledgeable and helpful. Each box is carefully packed and shipped out right away. After many, many years of doing business with them, Im still blown away each time I order by how efficient and good everyone is. They care about what they do, and they care about what their customers do. Theyve gone above and beyond for us and will always be my glass company, and should be yours, too.

Fabulous finds for the glass worker. Geared more towards Boro but a good selection of soft glass as well. Extremely knowledgeable staff that answers any questions you might have. There are places you can order your soft glass cheaper but this is a good place to start so you can see and touch the glass.

Awesome customer service! I bought a torch from these guys and had it for a couple months and it ended up being a faulty torch. I contacted Mountain Glass Arts and they took care of the situation right away. They had a new torch sent to my house in only a couple days! They always have the best products in stock and the best glass for the best price around! I will never go anywhere else for any of my glass, tools, or accessories ever again. THESE GUYS ROCK

I’ve been meaning to do this for a year or so. Mountain Glass Arts is my go-to source for all things glass, soft, boro and equipment. Selection is great, orders are without fail on time, prices are competitive and the best thing is the customer service. Call them, they have answers. And not just yes/no, it’s a genuine conversation with people who know because they work glass. Thank you MGA, you have made my glass life so much better.

Amazing staff very professional and respectful. These guys work in the industry they supply material for so they are extremely knowledgeable and offer help to any customer that asks. It isnt often that you find people who really enjoy their job, its obvious the moment you step inside MGA that these people really do care about the lamp working community as a whole.

Review №47

Mountain Glass has always been my go-to store for all my lampworking needs. They have one of the most comprehensive collections of items stocked at some of the best prices youll find. They are always running weekly sales so getting on their email list can be very beneficial. Most importantly the folks that work there have always been very friendly and helpful, willing to take the time to see that you find everything you need. Ive ordered everything from small amounts of color shipped through the mail, to an annealing oven shipped freight, which they made easier than I thought possible. Everything always packed securely and sent out quickly. In all, I have nothing but good things to say about them, and have always recommended them to others looking for supplies. You cant go wrong.

I was turned onto Mountain Glass Arts by Revere Glass. Im a beginner lampworker and I needed a reliable legitimate place to get my supplies.

When I started my flame working journey, almost 2 years ago, I had no idea how lucky I was to live in Asheville. I made a trip to mountain glass after about 3 days behind the torch and was blown away. On my first visit I was given a tour of the massive and somewhat overwhelming warehouse and since then every time I stop in I am greeted, by name, by happy, friendly faces. I often times find myself stopping in for a small purchase and staying for the intriguing conversations, with topics ranging through all aspects of this medium and beyond. I will undoubtedly be shopping with Mountain Glass throughout my flame working life.

As a new artist to the world of glass blowing, I was treated with the greatest respect and consideration by the staff. Their knowledge of the art, the supplies, and tools of the trade made it easy for me to begin my new adventure in the art of glass. The warehouse is staffed with friendly and courteous people, even the dogs were cool. Lots of supplies, glass, and tools for soft glass and boro work.

I do so appreciate these guys, I myself do not actually do any glass blowing or glass works. Most of the time when I drop in here I need glass tubing for a specific project Im working on, such as drip feed Oilers and the like. Despite that, every time Ive been here the guys at the counter have been very knowledgeable and helpful end interested in what Im making and able to provide information on what they have thats going to fit what Im doing.

Review №63

Excellent glass, tools, pretty much everything you could think of or want for borosilicate glassblowing, which is more so what I do personally but really for any type of lampworking. You can find just about every color of boro and soft glass, even from some of the newer companies coming out! Any price range of tools, depending on what you’re working with. The customer service is unparalleled and incredible. I’ve been buying all of my glass and tools from them for over a year now, and everyone I’ve spoken to on the phone and e-mail have been so pleasant, kind and helpful. They are always happy to answer my questions (and sometimes I have a lot of them!) and any time I’ve had an issue (which has been nothing major) they have done everything they can to make it right, quickly. I have even bought my kiln from them, which is a major piece of equipment but it arrived perfectly and has been an excellent asset to my studio. No problems at all with it. No issues with my torch either, and I’ve had it for going on 2 years now. Planning on purchasing my next torch from them, for sure. I will continue to buy my glass and all of my tools and supplies from them as long as I continue blowing glass, which with luck will be forever. I am happy to support this American glass company every time I purchase from them, and proud to wear their stickers- I have their main sticker right on the back of my cell phone I’m using to type this review right now! Thank you so much for the excellent customer service and everything Mountains Glass. I couldn’t recommend you more to glass artists of any level, especially when you’re starting out- they are so helpful!

In May 2019 I ordered a Bethlehem Bravo torch from Mountain Glass Arts. I wasn’t sure about whether my concentrators would run it or not so I called MGA before I ordered. The sales person I spoke to was so knowledgeable about how their torches worked and what combinations worked best together that making my decision was easy. Got the torch in record time and had it running in no time. Thanks to MGA this entire experience was pain free and that’s a good thing when spending a lot of money. My confidence in MGA and the glass products and tools they sell are immeasurable by this experience as well as the other ones I’ve had. Thanks MGA!

I just received my 4th order and only wish I would have been ordering from them since I started. The other company sent packages with back orders, without notification, things would come 2 weeks later being drop shipped from the manufacturer. Mountaing Glass has always shipped to me within 2 days, complete orders, no damage, packaged perfectly. I have yet to have a problem from them, so I dont know why I would buy anywhere else.thanks for everything guys!

Mountain Glass is the bees kneeeees! I love their user friendly website, their selection of borosilicate glass, tools and shop supplies and the staff is always extremely helpful with product questions or expediting orders even if I miss the cut off time... This is the only Lampworkers Supply company that I have NEVER had a single issue with. Conveniently located just a few states away, I can always count on quick delivery time and the best prices. For only $100 a year an annual membership gets the buyer 30% off most items which can quickly turn into huge savings. You cant go wrong with Mountain Glass!

MGA is by far one of the best supplier for anyone who works with glass. First is the selection; all the major manufactures of Boro color and several different manufactures of clear.Also their customer service is great! If you email them they get back to you very fast with answers to all your questions. I emailed them about a torch by GTT the not only gave me a wait time but also made other recommendations on torches and other places to call.Finally if you ever need to return anything, all you need to do is make a quick call, get an RA number and send it off. No problems!
