Annual Pumpkin Workshop-Blown Cane Pumpkin 10/21/23 from 12pm-3pm

Blown Cane Pumpkin $250 per person

Create your own blown pumpkin to treasure with an Italian technique of adding beautiful ribbons of colors to designs. Our team hand-makes these cane ribbons by taking large amounts of solid-colored glass and stretching them like taffy into thin, pencil-like rods of color. These thin pieces can then be heated in a kiln and rolled onto the surface of a bubble. You will learn how to roll into color, heat, pinch & paddle the glass to create your pumpkin. Watch it grow with the breath of your air! The pumpkin is finished by topping it off with a curly stem. Average size of a large grapefruit.

$250.00
