Unique hand-blown glass pumpkins, gourds and other glass items such as vases, paperweights and drinking glasses will be for sale ranging in price from $25 to $400. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted as payment.

The fundraiser is sponsored by the Women’s Council of RIT in partnership with the glass program at RIT’s School for American Crafts. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the School for American Crafts’ Visiting Artists Series as well as the Women’s Council scholarships.
