Third Degree Glass

Established in 2002, founders Jim McKelvey and Doug Auer opened the doors to Third Degree Glass Factory as the only publicly accessible glass art studio and education center in St. Louis. They transformed a dilapidated 1930s car dealership and service station into a state-of-the-art glass facility with over 8,000 square feet of usable space.

By renovating the building and hosting classes and events during day and evening hours, Third Degree has become the anchor of the neighborhood, and now, of the Delmar Maker District.

What started simply as a passion for glass art has blossomed into a multifaceted gallery, studio and private event space. Third Degree offers everyone who visits an opportunity to experience glass and its amazing qualities by shopping our gallery, booking a class or private experience, watching artists creating in the hot shop, or hosting an event in our stunning space.
