DEARBORN, MI--(Marketwire - September 16, 2009) - If you love hand blown glass and want the
opportunity to select a unique pumpkin that will last year after year,
glass artists of Furnace Design Studio invite you to attend the "Glass
Pumpkin Fest & Sale" from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, 2009.
This one-day event will be held at the Glass Academy, www.glassacademy.com,
located at 25331 Trowbridge, near Gulley Road and Michigan Avenue, in west
Dearborn.
"This is not your typical fall pumpkin patch," said Michelle Plucinsky,
glass artist and co-owner of Furnace Design Studio. "There will be no real
pumpkins for sale -- rather an amazing array of one-of-a-kind sparkling
glass pumpkins."
According to Plucinsky, more than 500 beautifully designed glass pumpkins,
from opaque to transparent and from reflective to metallic, will be for
sale along with decorative glass leaves and large hand blown glass bowls to
hold real and ornamental pumpkins and gourds.
"These pieces are truly collectibles and one-of-a-kind heirlooms that can
be passed from one generation to the next," added Plucinsky. "With
Michigan's beautiful fall season, they also make beautiful centerpieces for
your home décor."
In addition to the display and sale of glass pumpkins and other glass art
in varying sizes, styles and colors, the public is invited to observe free
glassblowing demonstrations, enjoy some Michigan cider and participate in
special prize drawings for custom made glass pumpkins.
Prices for the glass pumpkins begin at $35 each and $25 each for the glass
leaves. There is no admission to attend.
