Kids Summer Camp 2025.

Kids Glassblowing Summer Camp

Join us for a 2 to 2.5-hour glassblowing summer camp, designed for children ages 6 and up!

What to Expect:

  • Glassblowing Demonstration: Kids will watch a live demonstration covering science, art, physics, and history— blending education with creativity.
  • Hands-On Creation: Each child will create one of five glass pieces: ornament, small heart, flower, leaf, or feather. The glass must cool overnight, and projects will be ready for pickup the next day.
  • Raffle: After the demo, we’ll raffle off the demonstration piece, and one lucky child from the group will take it home!
  • Activity Sheets: To keep kids engaged while they wait for their turn, we’ll provide coloring and learning activity sheets.
  • Fun Practice: Each child will receive a small jar of honey and pretzels — simulating the feel of gathering molten glass, as honey mimics the consistency of hot glass. (Please notify us of any honey or pretzel allergies.)

Important Info:

  • Temperature: Our hot shop is climate controlled, starting at 75°F and gradually warming to around 85°F by midday (the reheating chamber runs at 2100°F, but the room won’t exceed 100°F). The gallery, however, is fully air-conditioned, and children can cool off inside as needed.
  • What to Wear: Closed-toe shoes (sneakers preferred) and natural fiber clothing (shorts and tank tops are okay!).
  • Parents/Guardians: Please stay with your child or group in the air-conditioned gallery. If you have other plans, you’re welcome to volunteer your child to go first so you can leave after they create their glass piece.
It’s going to be a fun, creative, and an educational experience — we can’t wait to see what your young artists create!
Camps will be offered every Tuesday and Wednesday beginning May 20th and ending July 30th from 10 am- 12 pm. 
The cost is $45 per person. You can purchase tickets at this link. There is limited availability, only 12 children per date.
