WHITE MILL, PA – For the first time in nearly a century, hot glass blowing will return to the historic glassmaking community of White Mills in public demonstrations on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 at the Dorflinger-Suydam Wildlife Sanctuary. Sponsored by the Dorflinger Glass Museum and Keystone College, glass artists will use a fully equipped mobile glass studio to demonstrate glass making techniques on the main lawn of the sanctuary. The demonstrations are free and open to the public from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
In the fall of 2016, the studio will travel to area schools to teach chemistry and physics principles to students, providing them with a unique opportunity to experience glass making. The studio’s first visit to a school will be to the Western Wayne campus in Waymart.
This demonstration will introduce the studio to the public and allow educators the opportunity to see it in operation. For teachers with questions about the studio, or to inquire about bringing it to their school, call Hank Loftus at the Dorflinger Glass Museum at 570/253-1185.
