katie286 Posted August 11, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Does anyone know of a place called Island Glass Blowing Studio? Its on North Church Street in Georgetown. If you know of it, how far from the pier is it? Can we walk there? My mom found it in a carribean magazine and is very interested in seeing it. Thanks for your help.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted August 11, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Does anyone know of a place called Island Glass Blowing Studio? Its on North Church Street in Georgetown. If you know of it, how far from the pier is it? Can we walk there? My mom found it in a carribean magazine and is very interested in seeing it. Thanks for your help.:) I saw a glass blowing studio on the way back from the turtle farm. I really wanted to go, but time was short and it was too far to walk. I don't know if that's the studio you're referring to, but if it is, you'll want to take a cab. It was at least a mile or so away from Captain Marvin's (which is a couple of blocks from the pier). Hope that helps! Jayne :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingDeanna Posted August 12, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2006 This quote is from travellady.com. HOTTEST PLACE TO BUY A GIFT The Glassblowing Studio on the waterfront is almost like a small museum. Inspired by the vibrant colors of Cayman's diverse flora and its exotic marine life, the craftsmen are able to reflect the splendor of the island in their design. Their use of freehand techniques to gather, color and shape the glass means that no two items are exactly alike. Glassblowing demonstrations are held weekdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie286 Posted August 12, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thank you! I've emailed the studio for directions. From what I've read, it sounds like it's close to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingDeanna Posted August 12, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2006 How did you email them? I can't find their official website to do it. I'm wanting to get directions also. My friend was on the island for a week last August. She said the studio is a "must see". Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie286 Posted August 12, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I did a search on the company and got the website and email from Trip Adsivor! I just kind of stumbled on it! Here you go::) http://www.islandglassblowing.com/ I haven't heard from them yet for directions. Couldn't seem to find it on their website.

drew sailbum Posted August 13, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2006 It's within walking distance, just before you get to the Burger King, maybe half a mile for the piers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingDeanna Posted August 13, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Katie- Here is the directions and her reply that I just received. Have a great trip! Hi there You need to turn left when you come out from the pier. Walk about ten minutes and we are on the waterfront side of the road. We are right before you get to Burger King. No we have no special pieces for 15 year anniversary, but we are sure you will find something very special in our store. Also we can engrave the date of your anniversary on any piece. We have a large selection to choose from. Hope to see you on the 27th September. Introduce yourself to me when you come to the store. Hope this info helps thanks Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie286 Posted August 13, 2006 Author #12 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks Deana! I was just about to post the directions that she emailed me to you! Two great minds! Have a great trip too!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispy1120 Posted August 18, 2006 #13 Share Posted August 18, 2006 You don't want to miss it! I've been 5 or 6 times since 1995. They do amazing work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie286 Posted August 20, 2006 Author #14 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Just got back...unfortunately we missed gettingthere because our ship arrived in port late. We saw it on our way to Sea Grape beach and on our way back. It was definitely not a short walk from the tenders to the store. It was so hot and there was no way that my 68 year old Mom could have walked it. Maybe next time we'll get there if we ever go back to Grand Cayman.

SailingDeanna Posted August 21, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Oh no! Too bad for you. I was also hoping to hear your report about it! I hope I don't report back with the same news! What did you think of Sea Grape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
