We completed a workshop with Matthew. He was a fantastic host, advocate for his cause, and so friendly. My husband and I had a great time and loved our pieces in the end

재활용 유리컵 만들기 워크샵으로 방문했었습니다. 유리를 재활용하는 방식을 처음부터 끝까지 설명해주셨는데, 원시적이고 직관적인 공법이라 정말 재밌었어요. 오로라 투어 후 집으로 돌아가기전에, 오로라와 관련된 기념품을 제 손으로 직접 만들 수 있는 것도 좋았고, 그 방식이 재활용을 이용한 물건인 것도 뜻깊어서 좋았습니다!

This was a one of a kind experience. I really enjoyed the designing of my own glasses and also enjoyed the tour and information given.
Matthew is definitely the guy you want on your apocalypse team! So creative, so smart!

We had so much fun with Mathews glass etching class.  It was an informative Yellowknife recycling history lesson and a hands-on workshop where you create your own unique keepsake.  I highly recommend this workshop.

Attending the glass etching workshop at Old Town Glassworks was a highlight of our trip! Matthew's passion for the environment and his contributions to the city of Yellowknife were truly inspiring. His storytelling skills were captivating, and hearing his journey while witnessing his creativity firsthand was the best part of the experience. The workshop was not just about glass etching—it was about connecting with the community and learning about sustainability.

I highly recommend booking this workshop and including it in your Yellowknife itinerary. It's a unique experience that blends art, storytelling, and environmental awareness.

Art and function in recycled form. Started with wine bottles but reaching to glass jugs and liquor bottles.  Take the glass class, where you get to stencil a creation of your own with as many stencils you can put on your item.  Matthew, the mastermind behind the studio and store, is a wealth of knowledge about Yellowknife and the community and ecological survival of the area.  He has incredible stories, some a little long but effectively dramatic.  With the class you get one item i.e. soap pump, vase, glass, bowl etc included but I highly recommend doing a second item for $25.  Super fun, super easy and he will guide you through everything!  I think this deal is better than just buying a piece but his works offer a lot to choose from.
And take a quick tour through the recycled bike parts and his bike repair shop.

Did the workshop today. Was amazing, so informative, fun afternoon. Got to choose a glass item or bring your own to decorate and sand blast. Recommend doing the workshop or even just stopping by the shop, wonderful items to choose from

What Matthew does with recycled materials is truly remarkable!  I attended Old Town Glassworks with some work colleagues and had little hope that I would be able to achieve anything good, as I am terrible at anything that involves creativity.  Matthew was patient, kind, and walked me through the activity with grace.  I came away with a beautiful glass and a memory to treasure!  If you’re in the area, this is an activity not to be missed.  Thank you, Matthew – you are brilliant!
