With furnaces glowing bright orange and loads of mesmerizing sculptures on display, this glassworks is an exciting place to visit.

Though this fine art gallery may look rough and rugged on the outside, it’s anything but on the inside. Incredible pieces of blown glass fill rooms and rooms, each more jaw-droppingly beautiful than the next. Many pieces are inspired by nature and illustrate just how dynamic the art form is. You can even watch live glass blowing from a loft above the studio.
The shop's exterior is as rustic as all the old buildings of Makawao and belies the elegance of the handcrafted jewelry displayed by more than 30 fine art jewelers. Each artist is unique and expresses their designs using gold, silver, and platinum with colored gemstones, diamonds, and pearls.
Proprietor Desiree Martinez keeps her rustic store stocked with beautiful local jewelry and feminine pieces from Indah, Bella Dahl, and Novella Royale brands. Versatile plaid shirts from Rails are popular, along with stylish menswear and home decor.
