#25YearsAndStillGlowing — Celebrate with us as Pittsburgh Glass Center continues to celebrate its 25th year anniversary year with our HOTTEST Hot Jams yet! Bring the whole family to experience exciting narrated glassblowing and flameworking demonstrations in our studios, browse handmade glass art gifts in our retail shop, and explore the contemporary glass exhibition in The Hodge Gallery. We're turning up the heat with special themes, activities, prizes, treats, and more at every Hot Jam in 2026; make sure you're here for the action!
It's March MADNESS—with a twist! This month's Mad Hatter Hot Jam will feature curiouser and curiouser live demonstrations by our glass artists in the Hot and Flame Shops. We're all mad here, so don't be afraid to dress for the theme!
On view in The Hodge Gallery: "Gathered Locally," featuring the work of nearly 100 Pittsburgh-area artists celebrating 25 years of glass art at PGC.
Get hands-on with a walk-in glassmaking activity! Pre-register (www.pittsburghglasscenter.org/classes/?course_search=2026-03-06#classes) or sign up at the Front Desk to make a fused glass ($35) or sandblasted glass ($25) suncatcher.
