Live Glass Demonstrations

Local artists offer a closer look at the magic of molten glass through live demonstrations of Flameworking – the art of melting and shaping glass using a torch. Watch as they transform glass rods into beads, figurines, ornaments and more. The artists will also be available to answer questions about the characteristics and process of working with glass.
Please note that demonstrations may be cancelled or postponed due to inclement weather.
