Great Glass Pumpkins

Every fall the MIT glassblowing department (Oh yes, they have one. It's very small and hugely popular.) has their primary fund-raising event, the Great Glass Pumpkin sale. People line up as early as 6:00 in the morning for entry to the 10:00 event, where around 1,000 pumpkins created by the department's faculty and students are ripe for the picking (yeah, sorry!). The gourds sell for anywhere from $20-200, depending on their size and complexity

Here's some of this year’s crop:

No pumpkins made it into our home this year...maybe next time.
