Mad Hatter HOT Jam

Get up close and feel the heat! The fire is getting hotter this year on the first Friday of every month.

Live Demonstrations

Tonight let’s go down the rabbit hole and focus on the unbelievable. Experience the whimsical work of artist Jordan Fine, Percy Echols II, Naz Khoury, Janet Hayes, and Jami Rickson with Alice in Wonderland-style glass demonstrations.

Costume Contest

We’re all mad here, so don’t be afraid to dress for the theme! Sign up in the 2nd floor Hot Shop for our costume contest, and be there at 7:30 to vote on the winners. The top 3 entrants will take home a PGC merch prize package!

Tea Party

To top off this twisted tea party, sip on some fresh brewed tea from Millvale’s Abeille Voyante Tea Co.

Hands-On Activities

There’s even an opportunity to try glass art yourself! Sign up to try a hands-on glassmaking activity during your visit. Pre-register or sign up at the Front Desk to design your own fused glass or sandblasted suncatcher.

Step into our studios for a FREE evening of creativity and inspiration. Watch artists transform molten glass into stunning works during live glassblowing demonstrations and explore cutting-edge contemporary glass art exhibitions you won’t see anywhere else. Come and explore a place where creativity, innovation, and tradition collide. Celebrate 25 years with us!
