FREE Fenton Factory Tours Are Fabulous! The Centennial Celebration is here!



Make 2005 YOUR year to visit Fenton!

This is it!! A TRULY once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You won’t want to miss the Centennial festivities, ranging from a live QVC broadcast to eBay university and a special auction of 150 vintage pieces of Fenton glass! Rated in USA Today as one of the TOP 10 tours in America, there is simply nothing quite like the Fenton Factory Tour. Watch raw materials become molten glass which is shaped by artisans in the age-old tradition. Furnaces glow; sparks fly, and from heat, noise and motion emerge works of art that captivate and delight.

The crafting experience showcases the talent of skilled artisans painstakingly handpainting each piece, and ends in the Gift Shop where an artist handpaints glassware to customer specifications. The Fenton Museum highlights glassware from 1880 to the present.
