The Hot Glass Road Show

Can’t make it to GlassRoots? We’ll bring the magic, science and excitement of hot glass to you!

GlassRoots can come to you with our Hot Glass Road Show: a mobile glassblowing studio. Our talented glassblowers will demonstrate the art of shaping molten glass into functional and artistic glass pieces. This educational and entertaining experience will expose a large group to the wonder and power of glass in transformation! 

GlassRoots can provide this experience at schools, festivals, public events, or parties.
