Weather permitting and based on availability, Ignite Glass Studios can also host events of up to 350 people in its Event Studio, Urban Garden, or Rooftop Deck with the option to add a demonstration viewing to see an artist at work. “Our glassblowing events are designed to engage and inspire, making them perfect for team-building activities or unique social gatherings,” says Genevieve Manning, director of sales and events at Ignite. “Guided by our expert artists, you’ll learn the techniques and secrets of this ancient craft.”
