    Make a Blown Glass Flower 

                with Atlantic Art Glass

    Reservations available between 10am-2pm
    $50.00  •  Supplies included

    Celebrate the arrival of spring and Earth Day with us as we help you make a colorful glass flower that will stay in bloom no matter the season. This experience will take approximately 20 minutes, and pre-registration is required. Participants will sign up for an hourly time-slot between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

    This experience allows you to work with hot glass up close, while staying on the cool end of the glassblowing equipment at all times. You'll start by choosing the vibrant glass colors you want to use in your flower and a colorful marini that will become the flower's center. You will then partner with our professional glassblowers to create it. After you apply the color, the glassblower will help you guide the molten glass into an optic mold, where you will shape the flower's petals by blowing air through the blowpipe. After you and the glassblower have shaped your flower, it will be removed from the blow pipe and a glass stem will be added. Your completed flower will then be placed in an oven to begin an overnight slow cooling process.

    Flowers are ready for pick up the following week or may be shipped for an additional fee within the US and Canada.

    Call 207.664.0222 to sign up to make a glass flower with us.

    Minimum age 14. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
