#25YearsAndStillGlowing — Celebrate with us as Pittsburgh Glass Center continues to celebrate its 25th year anniversary year with our HOTTEST Hot Jams yet! Bring the whole family to experience exciting narrated glassblowing and flameworking demonstrations in our studios, browse handmade glass art gifts in our retail shop, and explore the contemporary glass exhibition in The Hodge Gallery. We're turning up the heat with special themes, activities, prizes, treats, and more at every Hot Jam in 2026; make sure you're here for the action! Pride Month is here and we're excited to team up with Allies for Health + Wellbeing, Dreams of Hope, PERSAD, and SisTers PGH for our most colorful Hot Jam of the year!
We're celebrating the release of our 25th Anniversary collab beer with Two Frays Brewery. The Quick-E food truck will be on site with smash burgers, fresh cut fries, and more for the perfect pairing.
Party on the Vitro Patio with DJ Formosa on the decks.
Try a hands-on glass activity during your visit! Pre-register or sign up at the Front Desk to make a fused glass rainbow suncatcher (Pay What Makes You Happy) or a sandblasted suncatcher ($25). Open to ages 5 and up. www.pittsburghglasscenter.org/classes/?course_search=2026-06-05
