How It Works
Your private event begins with a live glassblowing demonstration, giving your group an up-close look at the fascinating process of transforming molten glass into beautiful works of art.
After the demonstration, participants work one at a time with our experienced instructors to create their own glass piece.
While each guest is working, the rest of the group enjoys:
- Watching the action in the Hot Shop
- Cheering each other on
- Taking photos and videos
- Learning about the glassblowing process
- Relaxing and enjoying the experience together
No prior experience is necessary. Our instructors guide each participant through every step of the process, making this an exciting and approachable experience for first-time glassblowers.

There's nothing quite like the thrill of gathering molten glass from a 2,100° furnace and shaping it into something beautiful with your own hands. It's equal parts art, science, and adrenaline—and unlike any other group activity.
Whether your guests are creating, watching, or cheering each other on, every moment becomes part of the experience. It's interactive, unforgettable, and a fantastic way to celebrate together while making memories—and handmade keepsakes—that will last a lifetime.
