On weekends, it offers Hot Glass Demos for families, where children can safely watch through protective glass as hot molten glass is shaped by master glassblowers. In the cold-working classroom, children aged 5 and above can, under professional guidance, piece together various colored safety glass fragments (Frits & Stringers) to create unique glass holiday pendants or coasters, which are then fired in an electric kiln by the center. The center's building is spacious and open, with accessible ramps and elevators, allowing unimpeded stroller access to the exhibition halls. Restrooms are equipped with sinks and diaper changing facilities. The center has a free dedicated visitor parking lot at the rear and convenient street parking. ## Similar picks coming up in Pittsburgh - [(Clay) Gingerbread Houses workshop at Union Project](https://grassyknees.com/pittsburgh/activities/clay-gingerbread-houses-workshop-at-union-project--listing-516a5801b60657b98b5b53f9) — Sun, Nov 15 · 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM · Union Project · All ages · From $40 · checked Oct 14.
