astral glass studio and gallery

The personality of the artist comes out in his work! Unique jewelry! Knowledgeable individuals, educational. A wonderful art to watch being created.

Certainly worth the drive to visit this location in downtown New Haven. Depending on the time of year, you may even get to produce your own artwork. We participated in the Christmas ornament program and our children had a blast.

Unusual, beautiful, friendly, educational, fun with inspired items for personal use, gifts, or just to admire

We visited on a recommendation from our tour guide at the distillery around the corner and we were SO glad we stopped by. The owner took quite a bit of time to talk to us, telling us about his craft and showing us his creations. The glassware is beautiful and the artists are amazingly talented.

Would have been fun to walk around on this beautiful sunday afternoon; sign said open on Sundays but alas shop was closed! Park and levee were nice, though, as was visitiors center and the distillery in pretty downtown New Haven.

I'm not a big "artsy" guy but this was well worth the stop. Watching these folks create in the glass blowing studio is amazing. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There is plenty of seating to get a good view of the craftsmen and work. Please stop in to see them.

So friendly and really enjoyed watching them blowing glass. If you like glass art, this is a must. They are clearly passionate about their craft and took a lot of time explaining what they were doing.

In Little New Haven, nestled in Missouri wine country you can witness world class glass being blown. See master Gary Rice turn molten glass into beautiful art. Don't miss it if you are driving by. Its worth the trip.

The shop and its glass items are beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art. But there's more: a demonstration of glass-blowing and a friendly staff that loves what they do! These artisans were not only talented, but informative and helpful. We stumbled upon this gem of a shop by visiting the distillery around the corner; the distillers recommended a visit to the Glass Studio. If you're in New Haven or nearby, this is a worthwhile and delightful shop to visit.

I had been to Astral glass studio on my way to stone hill winery in hermann. I travelled from st louis. The people at the studio was very friendly and they had shown us how they make pumpkin, birds, tumbler, oil lamp etc. At first when we see the glass items , we feel that it is expensive but the effort put into it seems to be really high which substantiates the price of the items. It was altogether a new experience to see how the stuffs are made. I will surely recommend you to go there to see this.

The Astral Glass Studio and Gallery is a must see stop during your visit to New Haven, MO. The glass blowers are friendly and ready to talk with you about their trade. They are working on their art pieces as you watch. They have a large selection of their work in their studio. It is amazing to see the finished piece of art.

I've received a good number of Astral Glass pieces from my best friend who lives in New Haven over the years. It wasn't until this past week, during a visit to her and her hubby's home, that I got to visit Astral in person. What they do with minerals, heat, and some tools to create their pieces is nothing shy of magic. Their work is visually stunning and quite creative. It's affordable, original art! Can't wait until I receive the vase that's being shipped. You can just look and shop, but if you have the time, take it and watch what they do when they work the glass. Judy, Lance, Gary and Judy and Gary's granddaughter were warm, welcoming, and willing to talk about their work. Budget in some time to spend here and find out something about glass blowing you don't already know...

Spent one of the best afternoons of the summer watching these folks turn molten glass into works of art right in front of me. Got to watch them up close in comfort while they worked in the 120 degree glass studio. Artists came out after making each piece and talked to the audiance about what they had made and the process. Great fun, and informative! These people love what they do and pass it along to the watchers. Most surprising was seeing how fascinated all the kids were watching them! When I'm needing that special gift for someone, or when I just want to splurge on myself will definately be back to get it here. Lots of great art pieces all around the showroom and prices blow the socks off any upscale store in St. Louis. Well worth the drive down from the local winerys.

I have several pieces from Astral Glass, each as beautiful as the next. The artists are all friendly and proud of their craft. They encourage you to watch as they create their art. You can browse the store for items or special order a piece. It is worth the trip, even if it is to just watch the art in action.

Wonderful shop! It's always a pleasure to watch someone w/ talent give life to something that starts as nothing more than a blob. Wife and I stopped in over 4/14/12 weekend & had the extreme pleasure of being able to watch, ask questions & be shown what is very apparent to be their labor of love. Lots of nice pieces... from whimsical to WOW. All of them of quality worthy of a curio cabinet display.
