Glass studios near the museum

In the immediate vicinity of the museum, within the former Riihimäki Glass Factory premises, are two glass studios: Lasismi and Glass Studio Mafka & Alakoski.

The glass studios produces mouth-blown art and utility glass and offers experiential events where guests can make their own glass objects with a glassblower. Visitors can watch glassblowing during the studio’s opening hours and special events.

The studios also serves professional artists, designers, and businesses, creating pieces based on their visions.
