A bit outside my comfort zone

My Mom and I decided to sign up for a glassblowing class. Went with Sangria pitchers. Had a blast and cant' wait to test the finished product! First is mine. Second is Mom's.

Isn't it fun? Great job on the pitchers!

Several years ago, we were at Orange Beach, Alabama and found an arts center with glass blowing. All three of us jumped at the opportunity! Wifey blew a large flower with a curly stem and my daughter and I both blew a drinking glass. I use this glass almost daily. We had a super time and would love to go back and do more!

Nice Job. I worked for five years at a Historic site (Greenfield Village) and we had a glass blowing facility there. On my lunch hour, I'd go over there and blow glass. It was a lot of fun. I was supervisor of the machine shop and also worked in the sawmills and was the village wheelwright. It was great fun.

Very cool. I didn't even know there were places you could take a class like that.

Those look great. I'd love to try that.
