This year we will again transform our interior into an autumn fantasy landscape showcasing hand-made, unique glass pumpkins made by the artists from our first apprentice program and new participants. There will be over 450 pumpkins ranging in size, shape, color, design, and price. Each of the first three apprentices will also create their own unique line of pumpkins. Throughout September we will sell raffle tickets for a special piece designed and made by the apprentices. During the live event, we will auction off each unique piece as they are being made in real time, creating an exciting opportunity to support each of these artists individually.

In 2019, Gent Glas hosted its first ever Glass Pumpkin Patch! Last year, the first apprentices of Gent Glas created unique, handmade pumpkins to raise money for their apprenticeship program, as well as accrue time to practice their craft and develop a team-working model. The first Pumpkin Patch (FUN)dRaiser showcased over 200 hand-made glass pumpkins , raised over 9000€, and drew nearly 150 visitors to this inaugural event. The proceeds from the sales helped cover the costs of three apprentices last year to work and learn at Gent Glas.

Gent Glas is a non-profit, public access glass studio. We are working towards building an international glass community focused on creativity and shared knowledge.
