Detail of a Spontaneous Design vessel

Spontaneous Design

...where you, the Hot Shop audience, get 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.

Once the team finishes the vessel, it is slow cooled in an annealing oven, cold worked and then available in the Museum Store.
