TUMBLER WORKSHOP

Discover the ancient art of glassblowing in `destination` and transform molten glass into a beautiful, functional tumbler. Our most immersive hot glass experience invites you to step into the heart of our studio for a 45-minute creative journey. Guided by a professional glass artist, you will learn the secrets of this captivating craft. Imagine the glow of the furnace and the satisfaction of creating something truly unique with your own hands. This is more than just a workshop; it is an opportunity to craft a personal piece of art that you can use every day, a tangible memory of your creative adventure in `destination`. Your one-on-one session begins with an introduction to the tools and the mesmerizing dance of glass manipulation. You will gather glowing glass from the furnace, carefully blow your first bubble, and then skillfully shape the base and walls of your cup. The final, delicate step is opening the mouth to create the perfect tumbler form. With twelve vibrant color options and three distinct styles to choose from, your creation will be a true reflection of your personal taste. Your instructor will be with you every step of the way, ensuring a safe and unforgettable experience. Once your masterpiece is complete, it requires a slow and steady 16-hour cooling period in the annealer to ensure its strength and durability. Your one-of-a-kind tumbler will be ready for you to collect the very next day, a perfect souvenir from our `destination` hot shop. You might even get a glimpse of our feline supervisors, Kupe and Jeff, who oversee all the creative work in our friendly studio.
