Celebrate a Glass Town Legacy… in Style!

Bottoms Up is Lancaster, Ohio’s celebration of midcentury barware culture. Situated in the heart of Ohio, a state that’s significant as a major producer of midcentury glassware, in a historically glass town. Sparked by the revival of Gay Fad Studios and growing interest in midcentury barware, this event provides a real experience from Ohio’s Glass Town.
