Corning Museum of Glass, Amphitheater Hot Shop

Corning, New York, USA
Iwan Baan

The Amphitheater Hot Shop was designed to accommodate larger audiences for live glassblowing demonstrations while still offering the Corning Museum the flexibility to transform the room into a flat floor space for dinners, banquets, and live entertainment.

We worked with the architect to shape the room and create an intimate audience-artist dynamic, perfect for the show’s interactive, educational nature. The result is a robust, dynamic venue with a 360-degree mezzanine and a one-of-a-kind retractable seating system. The venue, which was originally a historic ventilator building, features high-tech performance lighting systems, which contribute to the theatre’s unique flexibility and versatility.
