Glassblowing demonstration and studio presentation
When glass is being blown, the studio doors are open and the public can watch the work.
However, if you want to ensure that we are present and blowing glass, you can book a glass blowing demonstration and studio tour for yourself and/or your group. We will begin by telling you about the history and operations of Glass Studio Hytti, the profession of a glassblower and designer, the technical properties of glass, and the history of glassblowing in a nutshell. After this, we will blow a glass object as a demonstration, for example, a bottle, a vase, or a bowl. The glass studio can accommodate about 20 people at a time. The entire session takes about 20-30 minutes.
Suomenlinna guided tour and visit to the glass studio for groups
You can also combine a guided tour of Suomenlinna with a visit to the glass studio. During the walking tour of the fortress area, you will hear from an expert guide about the history of Suomenlinna from its beginnings to the present day and get to see the sights, after which you will be escorted to the studio to watch a glassblowing demonstration. The glass studio can accommodate about 20 people at a time. You can book the guided tour and glass studio combination at suomenlinnatours.com
