PUMPKIN WORKSHOP

Create A Vibrant Handcrafted Glass Pumpkin In An Exclusive One-On-One Studio Workshop Experience

Discover the ancient art of glassblowing in a professional destination studio. The Pumpkin Workshop is your invitation to step into the heart of the hot shop and transform molten glass into a vibrant, handcrafted pumpkin. This is your chance to create a unique piece of art that captures light and adds creative fun to any space. Your forty-five-minute, one-on-one journey begins with a design consultation where you will choose from a brilliant palette of colors.

Will you craft a classic orange and green pumpkin, or design a whimsical piece with swirls of red, blue, or even dramatic black? Guided by an expert instructor, you will learn about the specialized tools before diving into the mesmerizing process. You will gather, blow, and shape the molten glass, feeling the heat as your vision comes to life. To complete your masterpiece, our artist skillfully adds a fun, curly stem, all under the watchful eyes of our feline supervisors.

Because hot glass requires a slow and safe cooling period, your creation will rest in our studio overnight. This essential process ensures its strength and clarity, making it a lasting treasure. Your beautiful, finished glass pumpkin will be ready for you to collect from our studio the following day. This careful attention to detail ensures that your handcrafted piece remains a durable and stunning addition to your home decor for many years to come.

This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to experience the thrill of working with molten glass in a safe and supportive environment. By participating in this session, you gain insight into the technical requirements of glass art while producing a tangible, beautiful object. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned art lover, the process of shaping a glass pumpkin provides a unique and memorable connection to the traditional craft of glassblowing in New Zealand.
