Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — The Wiregrass Museum of Art is set to host a rare, hands-on glass blowing workshop beginning April 2, bringing a unique experience to the Wiregrass area for a limited time.
According to organizers, the four-day event will feature Hot Glass Academy, offering live, on-campus glass blowing sessions from April 2 through April 5. Officials say this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity, as the academy no longer hosts workshops outside of its Georgia studio.
Participants ages 8 and older can take part in two-hour sessions, with each class limited to six students. Attendees will work one-on-one with a professional glass artist and create their own handmade piece, such as a cup, ornament, paperweight or flower.
A working furnace will be set up on the museum’s campus, allowing guests to experience the full glass blowing process up close.
Sessions will run daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tickets are priced at $105 for museum members and $115 for non-members.
