We had a great time last night with our First Friday shenanigans! Amanda made great polka dot pumpkins inspired by artist Yayoi Kusama and Dan did some crackle pumpkins. Thank you to all that attended!
All of these pumpkins will be available at our upcoming shows: Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, The Morton Arboretum, and even maybe some here Hot Shop Glass ...
The show is good inside & out! Demos til 8pm! ...
Excited for First Friday demonstrations tomorrow night! Dan will be creating crackle pumpkins- literally dunking hot glass in cool water- it makes for a great demo! Amanda takes inspiration from recently departed artist Yayoi Kusama and polka dots her pumpkins, turning 2000+ degree molten glass into cool art right before your eyes. Demos 4-8pm. Free fun for the whole family!
