Hot Glass: Glass Blowing - Floats - Gazing Balls

Experience hands-on glass-making at the museum by selecting two colors from a wall of over sixty vibrant glass options. With guidance from an instructor, you will apply your chosen colors to clear molten glass and use a blow hose to inflate the piece into a unique art glass float. No prior experience is required, making this activity suitable for beginners and children ages five and up with adult supervision. The process allows participants to explore creativity while learning basic glass-blowing techniques in a safe and supportive environment.

After shaping the glass, all pieces are carefully annealed to strengthen them and will be ready for pickup the next day the museum is open or within two weeks. For convenience, shipping can also be arranged for an additional cost. All class-made glass must be collected within sixty days, ensuring that your creation reaches you safely and intact. This workshop combines creativity, craftsmanship, and fun, giving participants a memorable and hands-on experience in glass art that results in a personalized keepsake.
