Pittsburgh Glass Center

PGC 396 Join us for an evening of hot glass making and cold beer drinking with Two Frays Brewery.

Keep your beer fresh and the molten glass flowing. In this quick and exciting flame shop experience, you’ll work closely with a skilled artist to gather and shape molten glass into a custom bottle stopper using a 3,000°F torch. Use your bottle stopper with any beverage at any time to keep it fresh.

After your hands-on studio time, kick back and talk with the brewer, enjoy the beers, relax on the patio with some snacks, wander the gallery, and watch live glassblowing demonstrations throughout the evening. If you register for a later glassmaking slot, we suggest arriving early to enjoy all this event has to offer.

Cheers to a night of craft, flavor, and fun.
