Walk in and try glassmaking...no reservations necessary!
Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 1:00–5:00pm
September 5–December 21
(Subject to availability; slots are limited to 6 per hour)
Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday you can walk in and try glassmaking at Pittsburgh Glass Center without a reservation. In 20 minutes or less, you’ll make a sculpted glass paperweight or a blown glass ornament with the assistance of our artists for just $55. No experience is required. Adults and kids ages 5+ with adult supervision are welcome to participate.



This is a quick opportunity to get a taste of the glassmaking experience with lots of assistance.
No pre-registration is needed. Space is limited; seats may sell out quickly. Sign up in person only by visiting our Front Desk when you arrive. Be sure to check the event calendar—there a few special event and closure dates when Walk-In Make-It-Now will not be available.
We also offer many activities where you can have a more hands on experience and you can register ahead to guarantee a spot! See the list of upcoming activities here.
Due to the nature of hot glass, items must cool first and can be picked up 5 days after your activity. Shipping can be arranged for an additional fee.
