Hot Jam: Fireworks Edition — First Friday Open House at Pittsburgh Glass Center
Advertisement
Join us for a hot and sticky Hot Jam where the furnaces are blazing, the vibes are high, and the patio is packed with games, cold drinks, and seriously sticky BBQ.
Grab a drink, challenge your friends to a lawn game, and dig into smoky, saucy goodness from Smoked in Pitt BBQ (don’t forget the s’mores). Then head inside as our artists turn up the heat with fiery, fast-paced glassblowing demos that sparkle, pop, and practically explode with energy.
Try a hands-on glass activity during your visit! Pre-register or sign up at the Front Desk to make a fused glass suncatcher ($35 per person) or a flameworked glass pickle ($30). www.pittsburghglasscenter.org/classes/?course_search=2026-07-03#classes
In The Hodge Gallery: "A Fine Intoxication: Gathering Glass" by award-winning Pittsburgh-based glass artist and co-founder of Pittsburgh Glass Center Kathleen Mulcahy. On view through July 31. Learn more at www.pittsburghglasscenter.org/afineintoxication
All ages are welcome!
