Who's ready to feel the heat of the furnace in one of the hottest
introductory experiences offered by our partners at Pittsburgh Glass
Center as local artisans once again showcase and share their talents
with Girl Scouts. You'll work with a local artist to transform molten
glass into a colorful pumpkin you'll be proud to display all year
long.
Choose your favorite colors and try glassblowing to
expand the molten material with your breath.
Each
participant will end with a colorful glass pumpkin of their own
creation that will be ready to be picked up five days after the
activity. Finished pieces can be mailed for an additional cost if
participants are unable to pick them up in person. All participants
receive a glass-working patch.
Participants can also
observe professional glass blowing demonstrations as well as explore
Pittsburgh Glass Center's open gallery and studios through a
self-guided tour. Every girl needs to attend with an adult. Adults are
welcome to register and participate in the class.
Want to
keep the fun going? PGC will also be offering TWO additional
experiences this fall on the same day where participants can choose to
create fused glass suncatchers (all ages) or beautiful sculpted
flowers (limited space available, only for Juniors and up).
Participants who register for two or more events will receive a
discount. Check out "Suncatcher Sunday at Pittsburgh Glass
Center" or "Glassy Gals Sculpted Flowers at Pittsburgh Glass
Center" on the GSWPA Activities Page for more information about
those events.
***Adult supervision for the duration of
the event is required. Girls must attend with a parent/guardian or
troop leaders (following ratio). No tagalongs permitted.***
