Harvest Fest Glassblowing Party

Its that time of the year again, air is getting cooler, halloween is coming, and we're all thinking the same thing....blown glass party! This year, late October coincides with the MGW residency of visiting artist Caroline Landau. 

Caroline will be lead off our party with a spectacular demonstration of how their blown sculptures are made. After which, we'll clear out the shopfloor and set up for some interactive glassblowing. We'll run two benches with MGW artists helping party participants make their own glass pumpkin or ghost. Havent't ever blown glass before? No problem, we'll take care of the scary stuff and you'll get a chance to try it, and to see the result of your own hand in the finished piece.  Just want to watch? Or under 16years old, no problem. Our artists will make a piece for you while you participate in it's design or shop our store for ready made souvenirs. 

This party is a little longer than our casting parties to ensure everyone gets some glassblowing time.  We will have appetizers, beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages available for guests and the entire studio (including gallery) will be open to attendees.

Attendance is capped at 25 persons.
