Make-It-Now: Sculpted Glass Flower
Description
Feel the heat of the hot shop while you shape molten glass and watch your flower take form. In this quick and exciting hot shop experience, you’ll work closely with a skilled artist to shape molten glass from our 2,100°F furnace into a one-of-a-kind glass flower that lasts forever. Our Make-It-Now experiences offer a quick hands-on introduction to the magic of glassmaking. In the hot shop, you’ll work one-on-one with a skilled local artist at the 2,100°F furnace. In about 15 minutes or less, you’ll work together to shape, color, and craft your glass item. Perfect for beginners, these short experiences offer a taste of the excitement, skill, and artistry that goes into working with glass in a supportive, guided setting.
Ages 5+ unless otherwise specified.
Adult supervision is required for any children under 14 years old.
Due to the nature of hot glass, items cannot be taken home the same day they are created. All items made in the hot shop must go through an annealing process to slowly cool the glass. Items are available for pick-up after 5 days. Shipping can be arranged on site the day of your activity.
