Hot Glass Experiences
"Taste of the Glassblowing Hot Shop" Experiences
​
Make your own hot glass hearts, flowers, or drinking glasses.​​
​
(Taking reservations for Fridays through June 13. No experiences March 28 during guest glassblowing artist appearance. Check our Events page for more info. Closed May 13-18.)
Feel the heat as you create hearts, flowers or a drinking glass out of molten glass with our resident glassblower's help.
You will pick your colors, dip the molten glass into colored frit, re-heat the glass in the "glory hole,"
sculpt or blow the item, and knock it off the pipe.
​
For ages 8 and older.

All hot glass items must cool slowly so are ready to pick up the next day or can be shipped.
