Fall Make-It-Now

Looking for a fun fall activity that goes beyond the pumpkin patch? At this hands-on event, your family can create your own glass artwork with guidance from local artists. Choose from making a custom-colored blown glass pumpkin, designing a spooky fused glass suncatcher, or crafting a silly straw. Each activity uses different glassmaking techniques—glassblowing, flameworking, fusing, and sandblasting—and takes between 20 minutes to an hour depending on what you choose. The event offers three options at different price points and age ranges: the blown glass pumpkin and suncatcher both work for ages 5 and up ($45 and $35 respectively), while the silly straw is best for ages 14 and up ($30). You'll work in climate-controlled spaces with experienced instructors who'll help you transform glass into something uniquely yours. Registration is required to participate. This is a great way to try glassmaking without committing to a full class—perfect for families wanting to explore a new creative experience together.
