Glassblowing Experiences
Fridays, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
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.
Reservations required.
More information.

Closed May 13-18 to attend the Glass Art Society annual conference.
FREE Glassblowing Demonstrations
Saturdays, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

You'll be blown away by the heat of the glassblowing studio (or hot shop) while you watch our resident glassblower, Paul Simonette, turn 2,100-degree molten glass into a lovely and functional piece of art. We're the only glassblowing studio in Fredericksburg and we're family & leashed-dog friendly.
​
We are excited to share the living history that is glassblowing. ​
