What can you do at Blenko?

Celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with an unforgettable experience at Blenko. Our private events bring friends and families into the heart of the hot shop, where guests can gather, create, and connect through the art of glassmaking. It is a unique way to mark birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or any special occasion.

Choose from hands-on workshops where guests craft their own pieces, behind-the-scenes tours with exclusive access to the studio, or custom gift packages featuring signature Blenko glass. Each event can be tailored to your group’s size, schedule, and vision.

Every private event is designed with the same care we bring to our glass. Guests leave not only with one-of-a-kind creations but also with lasting memories of time spent together in our historic studio.
