CORNING, N.Y. (WIVB) — The Corning Museum of Glass is diving into all things fall. The museum is combining the art of glass making with autumnal activities for all ages.

Every Saturday, visitors can watch different museum gaffers, or master glassblowers, participate in the The Great Glass Pumpkin Experiment. Demonstrations start at 10 a.m. and each gaffer has about two hours to create a pumpkin-related glass object. The museum has some current creations on display, including a vampire-inspired pumpkin and a black and white striped pumpkin adorned with beetles.

Catherine Ayers started glassblowing in 2001 and has worked at museum since 2010. Last fall, Ayer’s glass pumpkin experiment went viral, gathering millions of views across social media platforms, and hundreds of thousands of likes.
