HOT Yam

Join the Pittsburgh Glass Center for a free evening celebrating seasonal traditions and live artistry. Watch skilled artists demonstrate the mesmerizing process of glassblowing as they work with molten glass, transforming it into beautiful pieces right before your eyes. Between demonstrations, enjoy kiln-roasted yams and make s'mores by the fire—a cozy way to experience the creative energy of the studio while staying warm. This event is part of the center's monthly Hot Jam series and welcomes families of all ages. The evening offers a casual introduction to glasswork without requiring registration or payment. If you're interested in getting hands-on, the center also offers glass-working activities suitable for different age groups, from Hot Shop demonstrations to fused glass and flame shop projects. It's a great way to explore a working artist space and see why glass art captivates so many people.
