Hot Glassblowing

Description

Turn up the heat for a one-of-a-kind date night in the hot shop.

In this quick and exciting experience, you and your partner will team up with a skilled artist to gather molten glass from our 2,100°F furnace and shape your own blown glass pumpkins, perfect for celebrating autumn together. Each person will make their own pumpkin to create a set of 2 pumpkins per couple. Perfect to share and admire for the season or all year long.

After your hands-on studio time, unwind with a glass of wine or beer and enjoy light bites. Let live music set the mood as you explore the gallery and take in glassblowing and flameworking demonstrations happening throughout the night. If you’re registered for a later glassmaking slot, we recommend arriving early to experience everything the evening has to offer.

Ages 21+

Guests under 21 not permitted.

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.
