Invite feathery friends into your yard with one of our fun bird feeders! We craft all of these hand blown glass hummingbird feeders in our Duluth MN Hotshop.
Standard Size: Approximately 5"H x 3.5"W x3.5" D
Large Size: Approximately 6.5"H x 4"W x 4"D
(Stand not included)
Filling the Feeder
Boil water and mix 1 part sugar to 4 parts boiling water. Set aside to chill.
Fill the hummingbird feeders almost full to create a vacuum to help prevent leakage. Fill the hummingbird feeder upside down and snugly replace the cork. When you turn it back over, the nectar flows to the bottom allowing nectar to “shoot” out the spout and the vacuum created should prevent spillage as long as the cork is properly in place. It is possible for bottom fill feeders to leak in heavy winds and changing temperatures, but it should only be a small amount. If the feeder was fine the previous day and empty in the morning, it is not unlikely a bat emptied your feeder.
Feeder Maintenance
Every filling, flush the feeder with hot tap water; a bottle brush can be very helpful.
Do not use soap - hummers apparently don't like the taste, but bleach will remove it if you have this problem. Visually inspect the entire feeder for black mold; a bleach soak (see the next paragraph) is the best way to remove mold. Discard any unconsumed sugar water. If the birds are not emptying your feeder between cleanings, it's unnecessary and wasteful to fill it completely. If the sugar solution in your feeder turns cloudy, it's spoiled and needs to be replaced. This can happen in as little as two days.
At least once a month, clean the feeder thoroughly with a solution of 1/4 cup bleach to one gallon of water. Soak the feeder in this solution for one hour, then clean with a bottle brush. Rinse well with running water and refill. Any remaining traces of bleach will be neutralized by reacting with the fresh syrup, and there's no need to air dry before refilling. Bleach is both safe and very effective.
Please Note: While we do our best to create a cohesive series, not every piece will be identical as it is all handmade and subject to variations.

"My boyfriend and I walked by this place last fall, stopped while they were doing a demonstration, and decided we had to come back for a class! We did the wine goblet class, where we each ended up making two stems for glasses (they attach the cup part and the base, so you don't have to worry about messing up the function 😅). It was so much fun! Our instructor (Daniel, I think, it's been a few weeks since we did it now) was great at teaching and guiding us through the process. We definitely want to go again in the (hopefully near) future!"– S. Leahsman


"Loved the experience for our family. Great way to spend a birthday. Our artist was fantastic, he answered all the questions and explained what was happening in a really down-to-earth way. It was fun and a great way to get a customized piece of art. We will be back."– jacat651
