Factory Tour$
Little River Hotglass Studio
Stowe, VT | leisure | 1 to 2 hours
If you’ve ever seen glassblowing in person or watched the Netflix show ‘Blown Away’, chances are you have been mesmerized by the process. Two thousand degree molten glass with the consistency of liquid honey is gathered from the crucible and manipulated into shapes and patterns which harden in seconds. Bold, decisive action is required at every step; this is not your Grandmother’s drawing class! If you feel up to the challenge and want to experience this dynamic material, we can make that happen. A one hour lesson will give you hands-on experience with the guidance to allow you to create your own unique object that will last a lifetime. We will only be offering the opportunity to make solid work (paperweights), but you get to choose between 4 shape options and a wide range of color choices.

Inhaven Insights
Fun Environment
The studio is a casual but informative space where questions are welcome and lively discussions (very often not about glass) take place. There is no formal tour nor is there an admission fee although donations to animal rescue are always welcome.
Heavy Equipment
There is a 300 lb. melting furnace which runs continuously to keep the glass molten. Two workstations each face a re-heating furnace (glory-hole) and two furnaces are equipped with heat recuperators to lessen gas consumption and to keep the studio quieter. There are four electric annealing ovens (lehrs) which are used to gently cool the glass pieces at the end of the day.
Age Restriction
Must be 16 or older to make your own piece of blown glass
