What happens on the day
Discover the magic of glassblowing in Richmond!
Your 3-hour class kicks off in a 5,000-square-foot facility, featuring all the tools and materials you’ll need to transform molten glass into gorgeous works of art. The best part? No experience is required—this class is designed with beginners in mind and encourages a hands-on, learn-by-doing approach.
Watch in awe as you gather, shape, and blow molten glass into three unique pieces: a snowman, paperweight, and cup. Of course, you’ll learn expert tips and tricks along the way, ensuring your confidence grows with each twist and turn of the rod.
At the end of your session, your creations will be cooled overnight and ready for pick up the following day.
