Brent B3B Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) i know it's not jumping out of a plane but, Julie took me to a "glass blowing" workshop yesterday for a recent "mile stone" b-day present i had. what a blast and how addicting, we made a couple of glass floats for our pond, if it ever thaws again Edited January 10, 2017 by Brent B3B 3 Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 Zactly where is this glass blower place? Will Julie take me there? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 while I got to say the closest I come to glass blowing was in the science lab at school. I have visited the Blinko Glass Co. a few times in my life and watched the skilled artist at work...I have to say that the tour back of the place where the broken fragments all sorted by color with the sun making them sparkle was a tad more "sparkly" cobalt blue is most appealing Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 It is my understanding that this is an exhale only joint. Quote

I picked cobalt and white for my float. We will pick them up this next week Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 That is a really neat birthday present, and you get to see your handiwork bobbing in the pond to boot. The Corning Glass Works in Corning, NY is a fascinating visit if anyone ever gets the chance. They have glass blowers that will make something to your (or your kids') order, as well as a place to "blow your own." They have a Museum of Glass, too. 1 Quote
