New! Team Building Experience

Part of the magic of glassblowing is that it is more of a team sport or an interpretive dance than an art form done in solitude. This teamwork/collaboration is the way glass has been made for thousands of years. Here at Water Street Glassworks, we celebrate the tradition of teamwork.

We invite you and your team/group to join us! Work with our talented team to design in 2-D a glass pattern out of cane and murrine and then watch the piece being created in the hot shop; transforming it from a 2-D pattern to a 3-D blown glass vessel.

Your Experience Includes:

• Your team will collaborate on the design using pre-made glass cane and murrine by laying out a pattern that will be heated and fused onto the glass vessel.
  
• Provide direction for the final blown piece by choosing the shape and base color.
• Observe our team in action! A blown vessel requires a team of experienced glassblowers to create the piece. It requires collaboration, trust, anticipation of needs, and some refer to it as watching a ballet. 
• The experience includes the hand blown vessel that can be displayed in your office. 

What is Cane & Murrine?

Cane: Colored glass that has been drawn out into a rod to be used at a later time.

Murrine: Cross sectional pieces of cane. An age-old Venetian technique by which bundles of cane are assembled, heated, and stretched so as to create specific imagery within the resulting cross section piece.
