"Glass Pumpkins for Sale"
In just about 15 minutes, the MIT Glass Lab's annual Great Glass Pumpkin Patch at MIT begins.
Here is a sneak peek...
Staff, students and volunteers setting up for the sale (tonight is a preview, tomorrow the sale begins):

More pictures below...
A rainbow of glass pumpkins adorns the tables:

Some are see-through with designs on the side:

Some are more colorful:

Some have decorations on the stem (this is a snake):

And some are made up of more than one piece:

Whatever your passion, there are pumpkins to match, all hand blown by students at the MIT Glass Lab:


If you are an MIT student who wants to participate in the Glass Lab, check out their web site. The Glass Lab has classes and workshops all through the year.

Those are amazing. I hope I get to experience it someday. I'd be looking for a frog pumpkin!
