Description

Let your garden grow a little more magical with glass. In this introductory workshop, you'll gather glass from the 2,100°F furnace. Then, guided by a skilled instructor, add color, twist, pull, and sculpt molten glass into a whimsical garden gnome and mushroom.

This hands-on introduction to hot glass sculpting is a fun way to explore the art of shaping molten glass. Each participant will create two unique solid glass garden sculptures, perfect for displaying among your plants, brightening a windowsill, or adding a playful touch to any space.

TEENS ONLY workshops are a great introduction to the world of glassmaking, just for teens. Teens will step into the PGC studios and explore the heat, color, and creativity of working with glass in the flame shop, hot shop, kiln shop, or cold shop alongside other teens. Teens can come solo and make new friends who share an interest in glassmaking, or sign up with a friend to share in the experience.

Looking for a more in-depth experience? Check out our afterschool SiO₂ classes, full-day MOLTN workshops, or summer boot camp for even more hands-on glassmaking fun.

PGC is committed to facilitating access for all young people. We offer full- and half-tuition scholarships for middle school and high school students based on application strength. No previous glass or art experience is required. Our only prerequisites are enthusiasm, curiosity, and eagerness to learn.

Due to the nature of hot glass, your creations will be ready for pickup 5 days after your activity.
