Stay warm this winter making your own snowman from molten glass. Open to all ages, this experience allows you to work with hot glass up close, while staying on the cool end of the glassblowing iron at all times. You’ll start by choosing the glass colors you want to use, and then partner with our professional glassblowers to create your unique glass snowman.

See guest artists Robin and Julia Rogers during live, narrated demonstrations in the Amphitheater Hot Shop January 17 through 21 from 10 am to 12 pm and 1 to 4 pm.

Robin and Julia Rogers' paths first crossed in a small hot glass studio in Western Montana in 2001. At this shop, called Cloud Cap Glass, their friendship grew and their glass practices began to overlap. They both became part owners of the studio and worked together, operating the small business and creating glass works. In 2010, after nearly 10 years of working together and assisting with each other's work, the duo decided to start creating artwork collaboratively. In these bodies of work, every step of the process, from conception to installing, is completed by both artists. This method of working has led to the creation of artwork that Julia and Robin are excited to make and proud to exhibit. Through the synergy of this collaboration, the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts.

These demos are included in the cost of admission (kids and teens 17 and under are free).

Live Glassmaking by Robin and Julia Rogers
Get ready to warm things up in a major way as Robin and Julia Rogers take the floor in the Amphitheater Hot Shop. A team for nearly 18 years, it's safe to say Robin and Julia Rogers are artists who truly love working with glass. As a team, they approach glass in many ways often incorporating blown and sculpted glass with electronics, sound, light, shadow, and many other elements. They pull inspiration from the world around them, melding their ideas to create thoughtful and intriguing works.
