There are tons of ways to have fun in Maine, but we’re always on the lookout for the more unique things to do. Between all the hiking and the exploring, there are times when expressing our creative side is what we crave. That’s why we love this glass studio in Montville. It offers beautiful works of art to purchase, but also provides classes for folks with a desire to create their own beautiful pieces.
Jacobson Glass Studio is tucked away in little Montville, nestled between Liberty and Freedom.

Fun fact! He’s also a renowned cartoonist. His pieces have been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today. In fact, he was so dedicated it was 17 years before he returned to glass-blowing by taking classes to train in the Venetian style. He moved to Maine in 2003 to open his studio.
