Discover the magic of winter glassblowing at Dougherty Glassworks with "Frost & Flame: A Glass Ornament Experience."

Step into the warmth of our studio and experience the art of creating a radiant glass ornament, perfect for celebrating the season or adding a touch of elegance to your home year-round.

This workshop invites both beginners and seasoned creatives, ages 14 and up, to craft a unique glass ornament with the guidance of our talented artisans. For younger artists aged 6 to 14, we offer a modified experience to make it fun and safe for everyone. Begin your journey by selecting from our array of winter-inspired colors, then dive into the process of shaping and blowing molten glass. From forming the glass to adding your final touches, each step lets you shape your ornament into something truly special.

Every one-hour session begins with a short safety briefing and demonstration, after which you’ll take a seat at the glassblower's bench. With four participants per session, you’ll receive hands-on support in a welcoming setting, capturing the warmth of the studio and the spirit of the season in each piece you create.

Your ornament will cool in our annealer overnight to ensure it reaches its final brilliance and durability. It will be ready for pickup within a few days, or we’re happy to arrange shipping directly to your home—perfect for gifting or keeping as a cherished memento.

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. Join us at Dougherty Glassworks this winter and bring home a timeless piece of art that will add a touch of sparkle to your holiday season and beyond.

An awesome experience!

We were led step by step towards our end product with care and humour. I was thinking as I stood in front of the furnace, turning the rod with the glass and feeling the heat that, as a senior, it may be the last time I feel like 'hot stuff!". It truly was a great experience and I hope to return for another workshop!

Christmas ball

This class, as always, is fun. Love learning about an artisan craft. Found the glass ball to be the most challenging to date but Cameron is very good at directions. Looking forward to more classes.

I had a great time making my ornament with my sisters. Every safety measure was taken and talked through. The whole process was very engaging and enjoyable and we felt safe the whole time. Thanks!
