ART ON FIRE Experience Kokomo

Opalescent Glass

The oldest producer of art glass in America, Kokomo Opalescent Glass has operated in its original location since 1888. The factory has been making world-famous, hand-mixed sheet glass using the same techniques from its beginnings with over 22,000 color combinations and 17 different textures possible.

During the factory tour, stand mere feet away and feel the heat as molten glass is handladled from the 2,000-degree furnace. Also see areas of packaging, shipping and glassblowing.

Glass produced at Kokomo Opalescent Glass is shipped worldwide and can be seen in installations at Disney World, Air Force Academy, in many churches and even the Vatican.

Come experience it for yourself! Factory tours are offered weekly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11 a.m. All tours must be scheduled in advance.
