GLASS BLOWER FOR A DAY
Become a glassblower for a day or have your hand molded in glass every school holiday at Holmegaard Værk.
Imagine being able to preserve a moment forever – not just in your heart, but as a physical work of art. Every school holiday at Holmegaard Værk you get the chance to do just that when our glassblowers invite you to become a glassblower for a day.
Imitate the glassblowers and create your own masterpiece in glass. Under the expert guidance of the museum's skilled glassblowers, you will try your hand at this ancient and noble craft as the red-hot, liquid glass is shaped and transformed in your hands. What you make depends on the season. At Christmas we blow Christmas baubles and at Easter we blow Easter eggs. At other holidays it can be glass baubles, drinking glasses or something completely different.
THE PRACTICAL
The glass workshop is open for regular production every day during the museum's opening hours, but if you visit Holmegaard Værk during the school holidays, you have the opportunity to become a glassblower for a day or have your hand molded in glass.
Keep an eye on our calendar and see when you can become a glassblower for a day.
How old do you have to be?
You must be at least 10 years old to blow your own glass and at least 4 years old to have your glass cast.
What does it cost?
It costs 195 DKK + 80 DKK in shipping if you want to have your creation sent to your home address.
Do you have to pay for entrance to Holmegaard Værk?
Yes. Our glass workshop is located inside the museum, and you must therefore pay regular admission in addition to your price to blow glass or have your hand cast in glass.
However, children under 18 have free admission when accompanied by an adult.
