At Vetro GlassblowingbrStudio and Gallery in historic downtown Grapevine, pumpkin carving takes on abrunique twist with the help of professional glassblowers and a 2,000-degreebrfurnace. Participants of all ages can help-create a one-of-a-kind glass pumpkinbrto display every year. Or, select your favorite from Vetro's “pumpkin patch” ofbrbeautifully created pumpkins and gourds in all shapes and sizes made by thebrVetro team of professional glassblowers.
The pumpkin help-createbrevents combine the ancient art of glassblowing with a fun, interactivebrexperience. Participants begin by selecting from five fall colors and applyingbrit to the hot molten glass. The colored glass is heated in the 2,000-degreebrfurnace and participants (ages 14 and older) assist the artist while the glassbrpumpkin is blown out and shaped.
