Design Your Own Glass Ornament: Sign up in-person to work with a professional glassblower to select the color of your own custom glassblown ornament! After selecting the colors and patterning, watch it get created in real time right before your eyes! $50.00/ornament. Walk-ins only. First come, first serve. Takes approx. 15 minutes. Hands-off experience. Due to glass needing to be cooled gradually in a kiln, your ornament will be ready for pickup within five days. Only offered 11/30/24 from 11am-6pm.
Watch Free Glassblowing Demonstrations: Warm up and observe glassblowing in action at the Foci MCGA hotshop! This is a great opportunity to watch professional glass artists work together to create their artwork, and gain some insight into the process. Questions are welcome. Free and open to the public. Seating is provided. 11/30/24 12pm-4pm.
