Blow Your Own Ornament – This is our most popular event at Orbix Hot Glass! Come design and literally “blow” your own ornament with the help of one of our glass artists. For this we welcome people of all ages (okay you have to be at least 5 years old).
Paperweight Class – This class is designed for those who really want to see what molten glass is all about – feel the heat as you sculpt the glass. Class size is maximum of four students so everyone has adequate time at the bench working.
Flower Class – In this class, it’s all about a hands-on experience in a fun atmosphere with a final product we know you will love. After watching us shape glass into a flower, it’s your turn to sit at the bench to a sculpt your own from an array of colors.
Tumbler Class – This introductory glassblowing class teaches many fundamentals through the process of making a small tumbler (cup). Plenty of hands-on experience from choosing colors, paddling, blowing and shaping is gained in this experience.
Pumpkin Class – You pick the body and stem colors, and afterwards, our artists guide you through the process stepping in to guide you as you shape the glass.
Bowl Making Class – In this small “suck” bowl, participants will work with a teammate to blow, suck and craft a small concave bowl with colors of their choice.
