Celebrate the summer solstice at Pittsburgh Glass Center. Soak up the warmth from the sun while enjoying refreshments on the patio. Have your tarot cards read and make a spell jar/mojo bag with Arts & Crafts: Botanica & Occult Shop. Then experience a completely different kind of light and heat from our glass furnaces. Watch free glassblowing demonstrations, set intentions for the upcoming season, and burn them away with the help of our hot glass artists. Plus, make your own summer-inspired glass artwork.

Make a Sculpted Glass Mushroom

Sculpt hot glass into a garden mushroom. In the hot shop, you’ll work with a local artist to pull, sculpt, shape, and add color to hot glass from the 2,100°F furnace to make a solid glass mushroom. This is one-of-a-kind fungi that can be displayed inside or out.

Ages 5+ $60/person

Event, demonstrations, and refreshments end at 9:00PM.  If you register for a later glassmaking slot, we suggest arriving early to enjoy all this event has to offer.
