If you want to start abrhands-on Halloween tradition this year, Vetro Glassblowing Studio and Gallery, located in historic downtown Grapevine, has an idea for you: Come make your ownbrhand-blown glass pumpkin.
The studio is fired upbrfor fall with its help-create events, which allow participants to experiencebrthe ancient art of glass blowing. Here's how it works: You select colors frombrfour pre-selected mixes, apply the colors to the hot molten glass gather, heatbrthe colors in the 2,000-degree furnace (participants age 14 and up), and youbrstay by the artist while he or she blows out your glass pumpkin.
Pumpkins are available forbrpick up the next business day after 3 p.m., and pumpkins created on Saturdaybrwill be available the following Tuesday.
