YOUR Group Class Option ~ Michigan Icicle™ Ornament

The Michigan Icicle™ is one of our most popular class experiences in the Dearborn studio. This hands-on glass blowing class is the perfect way to spend a wintry day! Immerse yourself in the captivating world of glassblowing as you create a breathtaking glass keepsake.

Our expert instructor will reveal the secrets behind the renowned Michigan Icicle™ through a live demonstration. As each student works with our instructors, you'll witness every 'blob' of molten glass transform into a stunning icicle. Utilizing specialized tools, gravity, and creative insight, you'll skillfully snip, pull, and stretch the molten glass 'blob' into its distinctive icicle shape. While adding a touch of white 'snow' to the molten glass surface is optional, it is often preferred to enhance the icicle's charm.

To finish the icicle, our talented craftsmen will attach a glass loop at the top of the icicle for hanging, then place it in the annealer, a cooling oven, to cool to room temperature overnight.

This Michigan Icicle ™ is a trademark item, designed exclusively by and for the Glass Academy. This is an exciting class you won’t want to miss!
