Description:Families are encouraged to bring their children to this unique glass blowing event at Mobile Glassblowing Studio's in Americus, Georgia.

After the gaffer (the main glass blower) blows out the glass bubble, the children will whisper the memory they wish to capture forever into the glass. Their favorite memory will forever be encapsulated by the glass as it chills from a molten 2,300 degrees into a solid form and the child will have a wonderful and unique keepsake.
Cotton and close toed shoes required for the workshop. No synthetic clothing allowed in the glass shop for safety reasons (jeans and cotton t-shirts are ideal). Safety glasses will be provided at the event.
