Make Your Own Glass Ornament at Corning Museum of Glass (All Ages!)

Open to all ages, this 15-minute experience allows you to work with hot glass up close while staying on the cool end of the glassblowing iron at all times. You’ll start by choosing the glass colors you want to use and the shape of your ornament, and then partner with our professional glassblowers to create your design. You will blow into a blow hose, or use a foot pedal connected to compressed air, to inflate the glass while our experienced glassblower guides and shapes the glass with special tools. After your ornament is shaped, it is removed from the blowpipe, and it is placed in an oven to begin an overnight slow cooling process.
