Creative and educational fun!

Rodi is an excellent teacher! She calmly explained each step of the process and we each took a turn making a nice sized glass paperweight.

do it

After you visit the museum, go make your own glass piece. Do your booking online for ease of selection and times for your visit since they only take a certain number per hour.
