Re-heating the glass
|
My daughters recently took a class to make glass ornaments. With the help of the instructors, they heated up a glob of melted glass (that's the technical term), dabbed colored glass onto it, re-melted the glass, and blew through a tube attached to the blowpipe. The instructors gave advice, turned the blowpipe to make swirls and other effects, and worked the glass while the kids blew into the tube.

I've been fascinated with glass blowing ever since my family used to visit a glass factory outside of Caracas, Venezuela, the only Murano glass factory outside of Italy. So I was thrilled when the glass studio opened. I haven't had a chance to take classes there yet, but it's on my to do list.
