Frequently Asked Questions
What types of events do you perform at?
We perform at events and venues of all sizes—from state and county fairs to intimate birthday celebrations, as well as wineries, breweries, festivals, summer camps, universities, hotels, resorts, and museums. We also bring a unique and memorable touch to corporate events, team-building days, holiday parties, non-profit gatherings, fundraisers, weddings, and bachelor or bachelorette activities.
We can create personalized awards and tailor our demonstrations to ensure your event is truly one of a kind.
What is the cost of booking a glassblowing demonstration?

Do you carry insurance?
Yes, we carry general liability insurance and can provide an additional insured certificate upon request.
Are your demonstrations appropriate for all ages?
Yes! Our demonstrations tend to be something the whole family can agree on. People of all ages and backgrounds are naturally drawn in, stopping in their tracks to watch the mesmerizing glow and movement of molten glass.
How much space do you need?
What are your electricity requirements?
Do you require propane?
For state and county fairs and other multi-day events, we require propane to be provided. In our experience, it is common for event organizers to work out a sponsorship deal with a local propane supplier.
For more information please visit our requirements page.
Will you need accommodations?
How much time do you need for set-up and tear-down?
We'll need access to the venue one day before for setup, as well as four hours prior to the demonstration start time each day. After our final demonstration, we'll require one additional day for packing, loading, and letting the equipment cool down.
How long are your demonstrations?
Demonstrations can range from just a few minutes for simple pieces to close to an hour for more intricate sculptures. Throughout the day, we present a mix of both—longer, more detailed demonstrations for spectators who want to watch a full sculpture come to life, as well as shorter, more intimate demos for small groups who wander by our tent.
We’re always happy to tailor our demonstration lineup to fit the occasion. For example, our pumpkins and ornaments are perfect for field trip days, allowing us to entertain multiple groups back-to-back with engaging, efficient shows.
What will the audience see?
The audience will see molten glass shaped and transformed into beautiful pieces such as vases, bowls, and a variety of intricate sculptures. They’re also encouraged to ask questions and learn about the science, technique, and history behind the art of glassblowing.
Is the audience able to participate?
While our demonstrations are not hands-on, audiences can still actively engage by watching the process up close, asking questions, and interacting with the presentation.
Do you offer lessons or workshops?
We offer workshops and classes for anyone looking for a true hands-on experience. These are perfect for private parties, holiday gatherings, birthdays, weddings, bachelor/bachelorette events, corporate functions, and team-building activities. Please note: hands-on workshops are not offered at large public events such as state or county fairs.
We’re always excited to create a unique experience—so feel free to reach out with your ideas! Participants will get to work directly with the material, experiment with colors, and even take home a piece of glass they helped create.
Are your demonstrations educational?
Yes! Our demonstrations are highly educational and fascinating for all ages. Guests learn about the science, art, and history of glassblowing through observation, Q&A, and engaging interaction.
Can you make awards or trophies for my event?
Yes, we can make custom awards and sculptures for any type of event!
