PUMPKIN TIME IS HERE!
This year Gent Glas will transform the exterior of the Nieuwland site into an autumn fantasy landscape showcasing unique, hand-made glass pumpkins made by the up and coming glass artists from our apprenticeship program.
During this event, you will enjoy:
live, glass blowing demonstrations
the ‘get it while it’s hot’ auction
fun pumpkin carving
unique beer & pumpkin goblet raffle
pumpkin related food and beverages
opportunity to purchase your own beautiful handmade pumpkins!
We will also be holding a raffle on the day to win...
A CASE OF MARTHA BEER & HANDMADE GLASS PUMPKIN GOBLETS!
The bulk of the event will take place outdoors with food and beverages being served in our handmade glassware!
During the ‘get it while it’s hot’ auction, we will auction off the pieces being made from hot glass in real time, creating an exciting opportunity to support each of the artists individually.
Our biggest fundraiser of the year, all profit raised from the Pumpkin Fest go directly back into running the Gent Glas programme of events & workshops, and building our skilled community of glass artists.
