Glass artists will be on hand to demonstrate and walk you through the glass blowing process. You’ll start by selecting bits of colored glass and then partner with a glass artist to create your artwork. You will dip molten glass into your color, then will inflate the ornament by blowing air through the moving blowpipe as the artist shapes the glass with advanced tools. Afterward, your ornament is removed from the blowpipe, a glass loop is added and it is placed in an oven to begin a slow cooling process.
