The duration of the glassblowing demonstration is approximately 30 minutes, depending on the piece being crafted and the number of audience questions.

Glassblowing demonstrations are held throughout the summer, Tuesday through Sunday. The first demonstration day is Tuesday, June 16, 2026, and the program will continue through late August. After that, demonstrations will be scheduled primarily on weekends. During Midsummer, our glassblowers will be celebrating the season, and no demonstrations will be held.

Please note that changes to the schedule and participating glassblowers may occur. Any updates will be posted on this page.
