Make-It-A-Date: Blown Glass Pumpkin

$60
Calendar Next available session starts Oct 23, 2026 at 5:30 pm
15 additional sessions through Oct 23, 2026

Turn up the heat for a one-of-a-kind date night in the hot shop.

In this quick and exciting experience, you and your partner will team up with a skilled artist to gather molten glass from our 2,100°F furnace and shape your own blown glass pumpkins, perfect for celebrating autumn together. Each person will make their own pumpkin to create a set of 2 pumpkins per couple. Perfect to share and admire for the season or all year long.

After your hands-on studio time, unwind with a glass of wine or beer and enjoy light bites. Let live music set the mood as you explore the gallery and take in glassblowing and flameworking demonstrations happening throughout the night. If you’re registered for a later glassmaking slot, we recommend arriving early to experience everything the evening has to offer.

Ages 21+

Guests under 21 not permitted.

Due to the nature of hot glass, items cannot be taken home the same day they are created. All items made in the hot shop must go through an annealing process to slowly cool the glass. Items are available for pick-up after 5 days. Shipping can be arranged on site the day of your activity.

Make-It-A-Date: Frosted Ornament Set

$2250
Calendar Next available session starts Dec 18, 2026 at 6 pm
5 additional sessions through Dec 18, 2026

Have a blast on this creative date night. In this quick and fun cold shop experience, you and your special someone will transform ordinary pieces of glass into a one-of-a-kind ornament set. Together, you’ll use stickers and tape to create patterns, motifs, or images.

With guidance from a skilled artist you’ll blast your designs to a frosted finish that catches and reflects the light beautifully. Create something seasonal, meaningful, geometric, or entirely your own, together. Make it, blast it, and take it home the very same night, ready to hang and enjoy!

Each couple makes 2 sandblasted ornaments for 1 perfect set.

After your hands-on studio time, kick back with a glass of wine or beer and some tasty bites. Let the live music set the mood as you wander the gallery, and be wowed by glassblowing and flameworking demonstrations happening throughout the evening. If you register for a later glassmaking time, we suggest arriving early to enjoy all this event has to offer.
