What should I expect during a try glassblowing experience?This class will begin with a safety lecture followed by a demo from the instructor. Then each person of the group will use the remaining time to work one on one with the instructor to make a unique piece of glass art. A key part of learning how to work with the glass is by observing how it's done. By each person having a turn, this allows the rest of the group to first watch how the instructor does it, then watching the others and learning from what they did wrong and what they did right. This allows each person to have the best possible outcome when its their turn. Also gives people time to take some really sweet social media photos of them working in glass!
