Spontaneous Design

Sometimes the Hot Shop audience gets to make all the design decisions! In our Spontaneous Design program, the Hot Shop interpreter leads the audience through an interactive on the big screen, where they choose the shape for a vessel, handles, colors, etc. Then our Home Hot Shop Team of glassblowers makes the vessel right there. You can try out the Spontaneous Design Interactive, yourself, or learn more about the program.
