Glass blowing works best when artisans have patience, skills, and at least a subconscious desire to acquire an American vice president menagerie. Salute the arts with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $55 worth of hand-blown glass merchandise or any glass-blowing miniworkshop of your choice at Corradetti Glass Studio (up to a $55 value). With the assistance of Corradetti's glass generalissimos, novice blowers can turn a lung-full of sweet nothings into a 3-inch floating heart paperweight ($55) on February 12—or conjure up glass omelette fixin’s in a multicolored glass egg miniworkshop ($45) on April 9. If you attend a workshop valued at less than $55, you can put the remaining balance toward hand-blown gifts (starting at $6) from the gallery, which stocks a range of jewelry, trinkets, and everlasting hard candies.

Reviews

Stone Hill Farm featured Corradetti Glass Studio, and though the studio's clients haven't blown much artful air toward the interwebs, Corradetti does share some customer testimonials on its website:

• Their space is large, open, and great for groups. – Nelle Somerville, Stone Hill Farm
