Hyannis HyArts Campus,  Corner of South Street and Pearl Street, Hyannis, MA 

Turn fresh inspiration into glass in this fun, hands-on soft glass workshop! Students will design and create fruit-inspired beads, learning how to shape and control molten glass to form recognizable, playful designs.
You’ll explore how to build and refine forms directly on the mandrel, adding details and dimension to bring your fruit to life. From simple shapes to more expressive designs, the class encourages creativity while strengthening your control and intention with soft glass. For those who want to experiment further, you’ll also have the option to work off the mandrel for more sculptural forms.
This class is a perfect blend of skill-building and imagination, resulting in a collection of charming, colorful glass fruits to take home.
Safety &amp; What to Expect
This class will be held at our Hyannis HyArts Campus Flamework Studio
Working with molten glass requires attention to safety at all times. All participants must wear 100% cotton or linen clothing (no synthetic fabrics), along with closed-toe shoes. Long hair must be tied back securely before class.
Protective eyewear will be provided to help you safely view the flame and glowing glass during the workshop.
All pieces created during class must cool slowly in a kiln overnight to ensure durability and prevent cracking. Finished work will be available for pickup the following day.&nbsp;<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/153131/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info&nbsp;

Come explore the fascinating history of cider, from its ancient European origins to its rise in colonial America and its unique role in early Cape Cod life.
2026 marks 250 years since the founding moments of the United States. Across Cape Cod and the nation, communities are coming together to honor this history—and cider played a central role in the daily lives of early Americans. Cider was once the drink of New England—served in taverns, on farms, and even aboard ships along the coast. On windswept farms and in seaside inns, cider connected communities, fueled debates, and accompanied the toasts that shaped a young nation. In 1776, the average New Englander drank over 35 gallons of hard cider a year, and John Adams famously wrote, “I continue my practice of drinking a Jill of Cyder in the Morning and find no ill but some good Effect.”
Join Norbert Sack, founder of Sandy Neck Cider, for a lively journey through the rise, fall, and revival of this iconic beverage. Discover how its story is rooted in craft, culture, and everyday tradition, and enjoy a tasting of ciders celebrating centuries of history on Cape Cod.
Part of our History on Tap series—join us for an evening of local history, conversation, and cider.
Admission: $10 per person / $5 for members
Must be 21+ to sample cider; IDs will be checked at the door.
Enjoy cider from the week's special sponsor, Sandy Neck Cider, along with cheese, crackers, water, and non-alcoholic beer options.
We highly recommend reserving your tickets on our website in advance. Popular events often sell out quickly, and we cannot always accommodate walk-ins. Don’t miss out—plan and secure your spot!

Discover the companion plants that highlight hydrangeas’ beauty while adding foliage color, texture, and blooms from spring through fall.
Hydrangeas are spectacular on their own, but they truly shine when paired with the right companions.

In this inspiring program, Natalie Carmolli shares some of her favorite Proven Winners® ColorChoice® hydrangea cultivars along with the perennials, shrubs, and foliage plants that complement them best. You’ll leave with creative ideas for building beautiful combinations that keep gardens colorful and interesting from spring through fall.
This program will be held indoors at the Heald Center inside the J.K. Lilly III Automobile Gallery. Advance registration is required.
Consider staying after the program to visit the gardens and exhibits. Admission to Heritage following the program is included with membership.
