Description

Fire up the torch, shape molten glass, and put a playful twist on an everyday classic. In this quick and exciting flameworking experience, you’ll work closely with a skilled artist to heat and bend molten glass into a whimsical, one-of-a-kind silly straw using a 3,000°F torch. Twist and curl your design into a loop, spiral, or squiggle that are as fun to look at as they are to use.

Make-It-Now experiences offer a quick hands-on introduction to the magic of glassmaking. In the flame shop, you’ll work one-on-one with a skilled local artist at a 3,000° tabletop torch. In about 20 minutes or less, you’ll work together to heat, shape, color, and craft your glass item. Perfect for beginners, these short experiences give a taste of the excitement, skill, and artistry that goes into working with glass in a supportive, guided setting.

Ages 14+

Due to the nature of hot glass, items cannot be taken home the same day they are created. All items made in the flame 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.
