Description

Embrace the beauty of fall at Dougherty Glassworks with our "Pumpkin Patch: Craft Your Own Glass Pumpkin" experience.

Step into the warm glow of our studio, where the rich colors of autumn come to life in molten glass. In this hands-on workshop, perfect for both beginners and seasoned creatives, you’ll capture the magic of the season by crafting your own glass pumpkin—ideal for adding a festive touch to your fall décor or as a unique seasonal gift.

Whether you’re aged 14 and above or joining our special version for kids aged 6 to 14, this workshop welcomes all who are eager to explore the art of glassblowing. Begin your journey by choosing from a palette of autumn-inspired hues, then work alongside our talented artisans to shape and mold your glass pumpkin. From the first gathering of molten glass to the final twist of the stem, you’ll use traditional tools to bring your pumpkin to life, capturing the essence of fall in a lasting creation.

Each one-hour session begins with a safety briefing and a live demonstration, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident as you step up to the glassblower’s bench. With only three participants per session, you’ll receive personalized guidance in a cozy, intimate setting, perfect for the season’s spirit of togetherness and creativity.

After your pumpkin is formed, it will be carefully cooled overnight in our annealer to ensure its durability and brilliance. Your finished piece will be ready for pickup a few days after your workshop, or we can ship it directly to your home, allowing you to share the warmth of the season with loved ones near and far.

No experience is required—just bring your love for fall and a spark of creativity. With spots filling quickly, we recommend booking online to secure your place in this beloved autumn workshop. Join us at Dougherty Glassworks, where the magic of glassblowing meets the cozy charm of fall, and create something that will light up your autumn celebrations for years to come.

Fantastic Pumpkin Workshop!

I absolutely loved the pumpkin making workshop. I’d always wanted to try glassblowing so this was the perfect opportunity to get a one-on-one hands-on experience. The pumpkin is so beautiful too!

Fun activity w/ gorgeous results

Staff was very kind and patient. When doing a new craft it can be a bit nerve-wracking but they made sure they communicated safety well & still made it very fun! I highly recommend this place for all your glass work activities. Will for sure be back again! The glass pumpkins were so beautiful!!
