If you think glassblowing is just about creating beautiful art, think again. Red Flower Studios and Gallery is redefining what’s possible with molten glass—and it’s a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. In this interactive experience, co-owners Daniel Bell [lead glassblower] and Jeremy Wilstein offer glassblowing classes and one-of-a-kind custom lighting and host unique, community-focused events. And their show-stopping experience? Cooking on hot glass.

Let's Cook with Glass

A five-course dinner prepared by talented local chefs Matt Nelson and Tom Thibodeau creates a unique menu for each event where a portion of each dish is cooked by hot glass.

"We work closely with the glassblowers to try and create new ways to cook with glass and create a great experience," Tom said. "We want people to connect what we do with what they do."

The chefs source local products and ingredients when possible, like Heber Valley Meats and produce from local farmers.

Daniel has a culinary background as well and wanted to combine his love of cooking with glass. He begins the evening by forming a glass tool pulling glass from the furnace that runs at 2100 degrees, and making a dome bowl that sears fish perfectly at 1700 degrees. Other dishes are cooked directly on the surface of hot glass and poured onto a steel table top. This dinner truly combines the artistry of glassblowing with gourmet cuisine—delivering an experience that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious.

"We embrace the challenge of hosting an interactive event like this," Daniel said. "We have new menus every time because we welcome the challenge. We are the only ones doing this unique experience. This is a creative outlet for all of us to come together and have fun, it's awesome."

Come for the Experience, Leave with New Friends

The "cooking on hot glass" experience isn’t your average dinner. Perfect for a date night, an evening with friends, or even a family outing, these dinners capture the spirit of creativity, community, and fun. The table for 20 guests is set for communal dining, and I guarantee you will leave following a few other diners on Instagram. You’ll learn about the art of glassblowing and the cooking on glass process while interacting with the chefs, owner, and Daniel's sweet studio dog.

While foodies may flock there for the cuisine, art enthusiasts will love exploring the studio and gallery that showcase stunning creations crafted through the art of glassblowing. From colorful sculptures to custom lighting masterpieces, the space brims with creativity and inspiration. The studio offers a 15% discount to purchase items on the night of the event.

A dinner served on hot glass is as much a visual experience as taste!
