This Tacoma studio makes 6-thousand glass pumpkins year round to prepare for the flood of sales that happen in the fall. #k5eveningTACOMA, Wash. — To truly appreciate the magic that brings glass pumpkins to life, I'm picking out the colors, dressing up in a glassblower's gloves and glasses and joining Ben Johnson in the hot shop atAnd that's a good thing because he and his team make 6,000 glass pumpkins every year.
Johnson is a true artist, capable of producing beautiful works that sell for over $1000. He's been working at the studio since 2011, so of course he takes the lead while I try to follow along.Ben Johnson and Saint Bryan keep that glass rod spinningThere are molds to give the pumpkins their ridges and, rather than blowing, we pump air through the rods to give the pumpkins their shape.
Finally, the stem has to be wrapped like taffy in one single move before we set in an annealing oven for the next 20 hours. As it settles it will take on a transparent cobalt blue color with an olive colored stem. . There are also patches every weekend leading up to Halloween and beyond. This Saturday you'll find a patch at Pioneer Park Pavilion in Puyallup.
