Pumpkin Fiesta
Our Annual Pumpkin Fiesta is back!
October 18th, 19th, 25th, and 26th from 9am-5pm
Come explore hundreds of colorful hand-made glass pumpkins, enjoy live glassblowing demonstrations and make your own fall-themed glass projects at Sonoran Glass School’s Annual Pumpkin Fiesta. Visitors can shop for seasonal glass art housewares and gifts in a festive fall atmosphere.
BROWSE COLORFUL GLASS PUMPKINS MADE BY PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS
SGS artists have been working since early September on glass pumpkins of all colors, shapes, textures, and sizes. Come wander the pumpkin patch to find the perfect one to take home!
DESIGN AND CREATE YOUR OWN GLASS PUMPKINS
One of the most popular activities during the festival is the Make-Your-Own Pumpkin Experience. Participants pick colors and design elements and then work with SGS artists to create their own glass pumpkin. Folks come year after year to add to their custom pumpkin collection and continue family traditions. Reservations are required.
FREE, LIVE GLASSBLOWING DEMONSTRATIONS
Sonoran Glass School is a working fine-art glass studio open to the public Monday through Saturday, 9 am until 5 pm. Stop by and watch our talented staff artists create their next great pieces for the retail gallery or sign up to take a class or Make Your Own Experience and learn how to make your own masterpiece. Drop-ins are welcome, but please call ahead to ensure that the shop will be active when you arrive.
SUPPORT GLASS ART EDUCATION
Sonoran Glass School’s mission is to inspire people of all ages to discover the wonder of glass art. Proceeds from this event help support that mission by subsidizing Sonoran Glass School’s free and reduced-cost education programs for youth and underserved communities in Tucson. In addition to teaching the specific skillset required to work art glass, Sonoran Glass School believes this unique and engaging art form has the power to teach essential life skills including planning, collaboration, teamwork as well as create community, broaden horizons and change lives.
