Sign up for a blow-your-own session and see first-hand what it’s like to work with molten glass! Craft a charming ornament, and choose from a vibrant array of colors and patterns. You'll receive one-on-one assistance to help you bring your artistic vision to life! Your molten glass creation will need to cool overnight, but we will pack it with care and ship it directly to your doorstep.
There are a limited number of slots, so don’t hesitate—sign up today! Please note: Participants must book their slot on the same day they attend. One piece of glass art per ticket. Open to all ages 6 and up.
Join us for an exciting introduction to neon making! This four-hour workshop will be focused on getting participants into the studio, bending glass, and illuminating their own art. Each student will walk away with a gestural illuminated sculpture—contained and ready to be displayed in your home! Students should expect to get a feel for the way glass tubing is manipulated in a flame and leave with a basic understanding of how neon works. This is a great opportunity for folks who have no glass experience and for those interested in neon art!
Please note: Guests must attend the workshop for the same day they’ve booked their ticket to view the exhibition. Each add-on on is good for one person. Workshop is welcome to everyone ages 18+.
