THE Specialty Workshop
*Specialty Glassblowing Experience $195+TAX*
(Bee, Cactus or Snowman)
*Available on specific dates only with limited availability *
Up to 30 minutes per person. Up to one hour total. Age 12+
Shapes are limited to those listed.
The Seasonal Glassblowing Experiences are unique from the Regular Experience, as creating a bee, cactus or a snowman requires the help of two skilled glassblowers instead of one.
For that reason, we offer these sessions on specific days.
BEE GLASSBLOWING EXPERIENCE
Your choice of color(s) for the body, stripe and stinger as well as your choice for the expression (smile, frown or none). Your Bee can either hang or sit with your choice of a clear glass hook or clear glass foot. The wings will be clear and the eyes will be black.
SNOWMAN GLASSBLOWING EXPERIENCE
You have many different options for the design of your Snowman! Choose from a top hat or Santa hat with your choice of color(s) for both the hat and the scarf. You can choose to make a short (2 bump) or tall (3 bump) Snowman. The eyes and buttons will be black, carrot nose- orange and you can choose from the lined smile or dotted smile.
CACTUS GLASSBLOWING EXPERIENCE
Cactus are fun and so is this glassblowing experience. Choose from color of cactus, color of flower and if you want a clear or brown colored patty for it to sit on.
