Get an up close experience with the process of glassblowing at the Hot Shop.
Housed in an outdoor glassblowing pavilion, the Hot Shop features daily demonstrations by local professional gaffers – master glass blowers – as they gather molten glass and transform it into a finished piece of blown glass artwork. Every step of the process is described in informative 25-minute sessions.
Glsass pieces produced in the Hot Shop are available for sale at Botanica, and the Hot Shop is available for special event rental.
