Description

Step into the vibrant world of molten glass and craft your very own radiant orb—an ornament that glows just as beautifully in summer sunlight as it does on a holiday tree. Why tuck it away in a box for eleven months of the year? These handblown beauties are made to be seen—hang them in a window and let the light dance through every day.

In this immersive, hands-on experience, you’ll learn the fundamentals of glassblowing while shaping a sparkling glass sphere that captures light and imagination all year round. It's like Christmas in June—minus the snow, plus a lot more heat.

Ideal for beginners and open to ages 6 and up (with guardian), each session begins with a brief safety talk before you work one-on-one with a skilled instructor. Choose from a spectrum of vibrant colors, then use traditional tools and techniques to shape and blow your own orb.

Each session lasts approximately 70 minutes and includes up to 5 participants. After being cooled overnight in our kiln, your piece will be ready for pickup in 2 days time or can be shipped for your convenience.

Whether you hang it in a sunlit window or add it to your holiday collection, this is the perfect way to experience glassmaking up close—and bring a little joy into your space, any season of the year.

No prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a love for creating something beautiful. With limited spots, we recommend booking early to secure your place.

Production of Your DGW Piece

Every Dougherty Glassworks piece is handmade and individually unique. Slight variations in colour and small bubbles are evidence of the handcrafted process.

We are committed to delivering work that is of the highest quality and will gladly exchange any pieces that you are not completely satified with (shipping not included).
