Hot Glass Blowout
Description
If you've ever wanted to try glassblowing, this is the workshop for you. This 5-hour workshop offers an introduction to the art of glassblowing. Designed for beginners, you will gain hands-on experience in the hot shop, and learn essential techniques for gathering, shaping, and manipulating molten glass straight from the 2,100°F furnace.
After learning to gather, you'll sculpt a paperweight and then progress to additional glassblowing techniques, enabling you to craft a variety of glass objects throughout the day.
Instructors provide step-by-step guidance to ensure a safe and productive learning experience.
Warning! Hot glass is immersive and captivating. Once you start working with it, you may not want to stop.
