The Mobile Hot Shop uses unique equipment to recreate a state-of-the-art studio environment, bringing the artistry and education of glassmaking straight to the public. Every day from 10 am to 5 pm, the Corning Museum glassmiths demonstrate complex hot glassmaking techniques in free demonstrations that are sure to excite all ages. Demonstrations last from thirty to sixty minutes. On August 11 at 2:45 pm, join us for a special two-hour demonstration featuring virtuoso glass artist Josh Simpson!
