From Third Degree Glass Factory

Established in 2002, Third Degree Glass is the only publicly accessible glass art studio & education center in St. Louis. The building has been transformed from a dilapidated historic car dealership and service station into a state-of-the-art glass facility with over 8,000 sq. ft. of usable space. What started simply as a passion for glass art for co-founders Jim McKelvey and Doug Auer, has blossomed into a multifaceted venue for education, retail, studio rental, private events, and exhibitions. Third Degree is the anchor of the Delmar Maker District, leading the neighborhood's mission to support and promote makers of all kinds.
