$50 - 20 minute session
Ages 5+ In this 20 minute intro to glass blowing, each participant gets to blow an ornament and press a sun catcher.
Choose from a selection of bright colors.
There are a wide selection of natural and nautical designed graphite molds, which you press into the hot glass to create the sun catcher.
“One of the best parts of my job is watching the wonder and excitement on kids’ faces when they experience live glassblowing," says Jacob Joslin, the Orwell Glass instructor who operates the summer glass workshop at the Maritime Museum.

Glass-blowing is an ancient art that has changed little over the centuries. Glass changes color and flexibility as it cools from a liquid to a solid. Watching a skilled glassblower is mesmerizing.
No experience necessary.
