The return of the ultimate glass blowing competition! Join us April 24 & 25 as the best glass blowers from Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and beyond meet for head-to-head competitions in our hot shop and flame shop. Witness the thrilling action and cheer on your favorites as you cast your vote for who receives cash prizes, trophies, and bragging rights for the year.

This year’s theme is “Space Creatures”! The event will culminate with our Sketches to Sculptures competition, where glass blowing teams take children’s drawings of Space Creatures and blow them into 3D glass sculptures before our eyes.

This community event is FREE to attend and fun for ALL AGES. Save the dates and don’t miss it!
