FEATURED EVENTS

This Make Your Own Glass experience is open to ages four and up. Layering pieces of flat glass and heating them in a kiln oven until the pieces melt together is called fusing. You’ll start by creating a design using colored frit (small chunks of glass), thin glass strings, and larger glass pieces. Museum staff will provide glass in a variety of colors and shapes for you to arrange in your design. Using non-toxic glue, you’ll secure your design in place, and our professionals will heat the piece in the kiln oven overnight. In the kiln, the glass fuses together to create a single piece of glass.
