The Deal

Experience the satisfaction of working with molten glass and crafting your own work of art with this Local Deal for The Glass Academy in Dearborn. This hands-on course will teach the basics of glassblowing and give participants the skills to make a take-home paperweight. You will also have the chance to blow a glass bubble by dipping a hollow tube into molten glass. For $49, regularly $100, enroll in this exclusive course, specially created for Travelzoo.

Or, for a truly unique experience, book a spot in one of two upcoming private demonstrations with master glassblower Chris Nordin, which include brunch (Oct. 7 and Nov. 11).
