About the event
Enchanted Fredericksburg Glassblowing's Grand Opening Celebration with Visiting Glassblowing Artist-In-Residence Kevin Baker from March 22-29, and special events continuing all weekend.
Thursday, March 23 - Visiting Artist-In-Residence & Glassblowing demos (10 a.m. - 5 p.m.)
o Glassblowers will be making items in Texas Wildflower colors all day.
o 1 p.m. - Ribbon Cutting with the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce. (Glassblowers will take a lunch break right before the ribbon cutting.)
Paul Simonette, resident glassblower and co-owner of Enchanted Fredericksburg Ranch, is excited to share this craft at the only studio/hot shop in Fredericksburg where the public can watch glassblowing up close. Glassblower Kevin Baker, from KB Art Glass in San Diego, Calif., is the Visiting Artist-In-Residence from March 22-29, and demonstrate his art of "dancing with a partner who's too hot to touch" throughout the week-long residency.
Baker and Simonette demonstrate glassblowing daily. RSVP and reservations not required to watch the free glassblowing demonstrations. Glassblowing demos end at closing time. We must start the annealing process at closing time so the glass can very slowly cool over 14 hours before opening the next day.
