Glassblowing Demonstrations

Watch molten glass, drawn from the furnace, blown and pressed into exquisite shapes.

Learn why the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company led the world in the manufacture of glass during the early 19th century.

And don’t forget to stop by our shop so you can take home a piece of the magic with one of our handcrafted glass items.

Even if you have seen glassblowing before, this up close, hands on demonstration is truly enthralling for adults and entrancing for children. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and engage with our glassblowers, as they demonstrate the techniques that have made the town of Sandwich a hub of American glass making for close to a century.
