Pittsburgh Glass Center hosts the hottest events in Pittsburgh from monthly open house Hot Jams to the region’s only glass auction.

Make-It-Now

Make-It-Now events feature family focused hands-on glass activities for all ages. It is an opportunity to try glass making "on the spot" in 20 minutes or less. No experience required.

Just a reminder that the temperature of hot glass is 2,000 degrees. That's much too hot to put your masterpiece in your purse or pocket immediately after a Make-It-Now. We will slowly cool your artwork over night and it will be ready for pick-up the following Tuesday. We can also mail it to you for an additional fee.
