Glassblowing Open House / Benefit Auction

May 12th will be a great day to visit East Falls Glassworks. In addition to our open house, there are lots of other events planned from noon till 10:00PM.

* Glassblowing Demonstrations - Inside and Out: If the weather cooperates, we will have live glassblowing demonstrations both inside the studio and outside. Demos will start around noon and wrap-up around 7:00PM.

* Benefit Auction: Earlier this year, two members of the Philadelphia glass community had all their glassblowing tools were stolen out of their car. We are hosting an auction with 100% of the proceeds going into a tool replacement fund. The auction will begin around 7:00PM and should finish before 10:00PM.

* Open Studios: We are a part of a large community of artists at Sherman Mills. Many artists in the complex will be opening their studios to the public on May 12th. It is a great opportunity to meet very talented artists and craftspeople in their workspaces.

* Schuylkill Gallery Show: Our next-door neighbor, the Schuylkill Gallery is hosting their Textures show. The Schuylkill Gallery will be open from noon till 5:00PM.

* Seconds Sale: A table will be set up with lots of East Falls Glassworks glass art at 'bargain basement' prices. These are one-of-a-kinds and items with small flaws.

East Falls Glassworks is a public-access glassblowing studio, offering classes for all levels and a gallery showcasing the best in locally made glass art.
