Live Glassblowing Demonstrations & Setup Requirements
What We Offer
At So Hot Glass, we bring the art of glassblowing to life with engaging, educational, and live demonstrations. Our setup is perfect for fairs, festivals, and special events, providing a unique and memorable experience for attendees.
Live Glassblowing Demonstrations
A minimum of six narrated demonstrations per day over a six-hour period.
Each demo showcases the artistry, science, and history behind glass sculpting, with real-time explanations.
We can tailor our demonstrations to suit your event’s needs—whether that means adjusting the presentation style, show times, or even creating custom sculptures for special occasions.
Daily Glass Sculpture
Each event day, the event organizer selects one glass sculpture from our collection.
Many fairs auction these pieces or use them as prizes for 4-H winners, but how they are used is entirely up to you. We can even engrave the name and date of the event on certain sculptures
On-Site Pop-Up Store
After each demonstration, a selection of handcrafted glass pieces is available for purchase.
This gives attendees a chance to take home a unique piece of the experience and a lasting memory of your event.
