Come for a day of Fall fun in UrbanGlass' hotshop! We'll be keeping warm next to the furnace while making colorful glass pumpkins.
What to Expect: After covering the basics of hotshop safety and etiquette, students will be shown a brief demonstration on how to make a glass pumpkin. Afterwards, they will break into groups of two or three and work together (under the supervision of an instructor or TA) to make their very own! Students will be provided with a selection of colors with which they will be able to work.
The hot shop is a loud studio, and can get quite warm. Glassblowing takes repetition and practice - expect failures along with successes.
Eligibility: No experience necessary Open to ages 14 and up.
Pick-up: The glass needs to cool down overnight, so the students will have to return to UrbanGlass once notified to pick up their work.
