Items have varying degrees of participation. You will learn to hold the punty, heat the glass, apply color, and assist in shaping the item before knocking it off the pipe. Due to the difficulty level, quality, health, and safety reasons, we do not allow guests to blow into the pipe. Our instructors will also gather from the main glass furnace. Instructors may assist in shaping certain pieces in the final stages to insure quality. Please visit our PROCESS page to learn more.
We like to say “Hand Made, Hand Wash”. Glass can suffer from thermal shock (rapid and sudden change in temperature) leading to cracking or shattering. Since dishwashers can get hot, there is a chance your glass could crack or break.
We do not recommend it. Glass can suffer from thermal shock (rapid and sudden change in temperature) leading to cracking or shattering.
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends keeping medical oxygen tanks at least 5 feet from a heat source, open flames or electrical devices. Most of our glassblowing participation occurs near our furnaces and fire polishing flames, therefor we do not recommend participating in our glassblowing experience except for observing your other guests that may be attending (there is no cost to attend with your party if you are not making an item but we do require a safety waiver). If you still wish to have an item made, someone else in your party or our instructors can make the item at your direction and our glassblowers will work to accommodate you into the participation as much as feasible. Please note, however, this may be limited to applying the color to your piece only.
