Discover GlassRoom
An Interactive Exhibit for Kids!
Inspired by the Sandwich Glass Museum’s very own Hot Shop, the new Discover GlassRoom invites children of all ages to explore the fascinating art and science of glassmaking in a fun, hands-on environment. This interactive exhibit features a simulated “hot” furnace and gaffer’s bench, where kids can step into the shoes of a glass artist and learn how molten glass is shaped into beautiful works of art.
With specially designed cold tools and safe, tactile materials that mimic real glasswork, young visitors will engage in imaginative play while gaining a deeper understanding of glassmaking techniques, tools, and the creative process behind this centuries-old craft.
Special thanks to Upper Cape Tech for their incredible craftsmanship in building the exhibit’s arch and faux furnace—an inspiring example of community partnership and creativity in action!
Come explore, imagine, and create—Discover GlassRoom is helping SGM spark the future!
