Our gallery has a variety of handmade glass sculptures, housewares, jewelry, and gifts available. We will be running free glassmaking demonstrations open to the public each day! While observing glass artists at work you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and learn a little about the process! You may arrive and leave any time during the demonstrations. Please note that Foci MCGA is a working glass studio and other artists will be using the same space. Appropriate for ages 8+; children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. On Sunday afternoon there will be a free screen printing on glass activity where you will get to make your own pieces of glass art.
