Come out and actually help make a glass flower or flared bowl directly from 2000-degree molten glass! Men, women and children love the excitment of working with molten glass because it’s a unique opportunity and it results in such beauty. We do not take any appointments.  ***All Flowers and Bowls created will not be ready for pick up untill 3:00 p.m. the following business day***

For just $35 per flower or $50 per flared bowl, you get to:

> Choose from a selection of 4 colors
> Apply your own color to the molten glass
> Select the shape of the stem (flowers only)
> Heat the molten glass and color in the furnace or glory hole (This step is for those 18 and older only.)
>Pick up your artwork the following business day after 3:00 p.m.

The Vetro artist will then complete the final sculpting stages for you.

Now remember that it takes about 24 hours to cool to room temperature, so don’t wait until the last minute!

So come on in, bring your loved ones, bring your friends, and be an artist for a day!

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE WILL BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY MAY 13th IN HONOR OF OUR MOTHERS. ANY FLOWERS OR BOWLS MADE ON MAY 13th CAN BE PICKED UP THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY MAY 15th after 3:00 p.m.
