Introduction To Glass Blowing: Decorative Orb Workshop

BLOWN GLASS ORB EXPERIENCE: Experience the excitement of working with molten glass at Wine & Design Matthews! You'll work alongside a professional glass artist to create three one-of-a-kind blown glass orbs. No prior experience is needed. Each orb is handcrafted by you, making every piece completely unique. Please note: Guests will blow their own glass pieces. If you are unable to blow up a balloon, this workshop may not be the best fit.

WHAT TO EXPECT: This experience lasts approximately 2 hours. You'll create three blown glass orbs, followed by approximately 30 minutes while your pieces safely cool. Variations in size and shape are part of the handmade process and make each piece truly one of a kind. Your finished glass orbs will be ready to take home at the end of the workshop.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: This is an adults-only (18+) experience. All participants must sign a liability waiver before participating and wear the provided safety equipment, including protective eyewear and gloves. Due to the use of molten glass and high temperatures, all guests must follow the glass artist's safety instructions at all times.

BYOB: For a limited time, our studio is BYOB. Feel free to bring beer, wine, or seltzers along with your favorite snacks to enjoy during the workshop.
