Do you have plans this weekend? May we suggest a relaxed evening of crushing, rolling, and blowing — glass, of course. Rural Modern Glass Studio, the first glass-blowing studio in the city, is opening its doors to a three-hour-long walkthrough and hands-on demonstration under expert supervision.

Shivam Agarwal, studio head, tells us participants are in for a tutorial in handling glass, a close look at the furnaces and machines that make the task possible, and understanding how colours work in glassware. “As a Christmastime twist, we’ll be shaping festive baubles using glass blowing techniques, followed by crafting our own candy cane décor,” he reveals. The studio will provide all safety gear, and will keep a close eye on the high-temperature affair.
