Looking for a winter activity with some real heat?

Look forward to:

  • Friday cocktail party + hot glass demonstration
  • Hands-on glassblowing classes all weekend (great way to learn a new skill)

  • Sunday morning pastries + artist meet n’ greet
  • Commemorative glass to take home

Tickets, times, and full weekend details this way.
