"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:

well.. when saw the tent from the student center, i thought that it was free food again and was so sad to realise that there's nothing to eat...

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