A great place to see making and no booking required. Various processes can be seen and different types of objects made. Handy on cold days as it's nice and warm in the gallery. The has a great display of the products made as well as other glass. Prices from £50 to £250 for paper weights. There is an area with antiques on display for sale which my partner found very interesting along with a picture and photo gallery. Caithness is a hidden gem for lovers of exquisite handmade ornaments. Stepping into this quaint establishment is like entering a wonderland of delicate craftsmanship and vibrant colors. One of the highlights of my visit was witnessing the mesmerizing live demonstrations of glassmaking. It was truly captivating to watch skilled artisans mold molten into intricate shapes, bringing each piece to life with precision and care. The opportunity to see the process firsthand added an extra layer of appreciation for the artistry behind each ornament. The collection of ornaments on display is simply breathtaking.

It's a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, whether you're a seasoned collector or simply curious about the craft. Overall, my experience at Caithness was nothing short of enchanting. The combination of stunning glasswork, live demonstrations, and free admission makes it a must-visit destination for anyone passing through Crieff. I left feeling inspired and with a newfound appreciation for the art of glassmaking. Everyone has come across these beautifully hand crafted items at some point. Lovely to visit and see not only how they’re made by hand but also everything that’s available. A very suitable jubilee variation available in store. Kids can decorate their own and there’s also an option to design your own from £50 which seems awesome, we just didn’t have time. Definitely worth stopping in whether for a look, hands on, lunch or maybe one of the last minute bargains from the seconds shelf too. Really interesting to see the glassware being made, it's free to go through into the factory area and although it's not very big, you see plenty. Staff in the are lovely but they only sell paperweights now in the main shop. The highlight for me was a separate little section which sold antique glassware including Caithness glass. I got a set to match some existing glassware and it was very reasonably priced. The staff in this section were very helpful too. If you’ve ever wanted to see molten magic take shape, Caithness is the place to be. You can literally watch the skilled glassmakers in action as they coax fiery blobs into the beautiful paperweights you see in the shop. On my visit, the gentleman in the factory was crafting a delicate poppy paperweight — and not only did he do it with effortless skill, but he also took the time to explain every step to me. Educational and mesmerising — like a cross between a science lesson and an art show. The is a treasure trove: a multitude of paperweights, each more tempting than the last, plus elegant glassware, from wine glasses that whisper sophistication to vases that scream “buy me now.” For those feeling creative, there’s a painting station where you (or your kids — or your inner kid) can buy something and decorate it yourself. My children thoroughly enjoyed it and emerged looking like tiny Jackson Pollocks armed with paintbrushes. It’s hands-on, informative, and frankly, dangerously good for anyone with a weakness for sparkly things. Come for the art, stay for the temptation to redecorate your entire house in glass. It is a hidden gem in a small village where you can have a look and learn an art of making, purchase a beautiful piece or even make your own. My kids enjoyed making gorgeous glasses. Despite the fact that we were plainly dressed, the man in the (wearing a suit and bowtie) treated us with the utmost respect. We had the opportunity to watch the people create new pieces which is quite interesting to see. The itself offers a great variety of glassware, the only difficulty is choosing. Today I was here for a stop. And wanted to see how he made the glass. Sadly, I couldn’t see it because as soon as you came in they stopped working. Also the blower started screaming at me when I was standing outside. He was really unfriendly. My experience was really bad and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good time.
