Glassmaking adventure for the whole family
Become part of a large glass art collage! Under the expert guidance of our glassmakers, children and their parents can blow a colored glass block at the melting furnace. They place a mold on a base into which the molten colored glass is then blown into a glass block by you. You do everything yourself, from setting up the mold and shaping the glass to blowing it in! The cold glass block is engraved the next day with the name of the person who blew the block into the mold. Glassmaking is teamwork! Two to four people can work on each glass block. All the blown glass blocks are then joined together in the cottage garden to form a large, colorful sculpture. Create a memory of a unique experience! The sculpture will be open to the public.
Price per glass block: 25.00 euros Duration: approx. 20 minutes + 1 day cooling time Minimum age: 6 years
