Get In the Know!
The Sandwich Historical Society and its Glass Museum, home to a collection of 19th century industrial glass, is passionate about fostering modern day glassblowers and glass artists. To that end, we offer classes in the art of working with glass, both hot and cold, in an effort to teach the current generation about this ancient and beautiful art form.

Kids Discover Glass Room
Pardon Our Mess!
Sandwich Glass Museum is partnering with the Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical High School to help build a replicated hot shop with a faux furnace for our new Discover Glass Room. We will be launching simulated glass experiences for children of all ages to learn more about the tools and the art of making glass. Check back regularly for news about our Discover Glass Room opening and educational programming. Huge thanks to the students at Upper Cape Tech for all their work to help make this happen!Â
