Located near the Historic Jamestowne site, Jamestown Glasshouse, is worth a stop.
The experience starts with an atmospheric walk from the parking lot, through the woods, to the workshop.
If like us, you have a National Park Passport book, the glasshouse, has its own passport cancellation stamp.
Were it not for my clumsiness, glassblowing, would be a desired hobby. I think I would burn myself, a lot, so I’ll watch others blow glass. It’s relaxing and fascinating. Jamestown Glasshouse is a great place to get a glassblowing-watching fix.
It’s an open-air, outdoor, workspace. The set up is old-timey, compared to modern glassblowing destinations, like Corning.
The outdoor temperature is hot. We’re boiling, so I can’t imagine how overheated the glassblowers feel.
There is a staff, imparting information, explaining the glassblowing process, and answering questions.
If you are enchanted by glassblowing, like history, or art in general, be sure to swing by Jamestown Glasshouse, on your way to or from other historic sites.
