2B Glass Pumpkins are Northern California's Fall Favorite - Replay
️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy! We are re-airing this Glass Pumpkin fun-filled episode. Last year we visited 2B Glass, a top-rated glassblowing studio in California, to experience the magic of handblown art firsthand. Joined by entrepreneurs Tate and Aaron Bezdek and Ash Koss, Mary dives deep into the artistry, challenges, and entrepreneurial spirit that turn molten glass into dazzling pumpkins and ornaments. Learn how this entrepreneurial trio built a thriving business—from humble beginnings in a backyard studio and long days in a factory, to viral video stardom and bustling handblown glass pumpkin patches. Be inspired by their journey, creativity, and behind-the-scenes look at the art and business of glassblowing! Topics Covered: Live demonstration of glassblowing and pumpkin-making Custom molds and the artistry of glass pumpkins Behind the scenes at a glass studio Building a business as artisan entrepreneurs Viral videos and their business impact Transitioning from art shows to online sales Scaling a creative business Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and artists Key takeaways: Glassblowing is as much about teamwork and timing as it is about artistry; precision and practice are essential.
