Nolan, Stacia, and Zander chose to come. We were able to ride in one car. Several had a turn. We went to lunch and came back and finished.
Very hot oven
Red hot - 1000* hot glass...water, paper and sparks everywhere....
"Stacia" made a glass float.
Zander's Turn - he loved helping
Zander was a bit worried that the man misunderstood that he wanted to make a CUP.
Zander (Alexander) was thrilled when the gentlemen asked if his name was Alexander. He said that this technique was created 2,000 years ago by a Roman named Alexander.
We headed for lunch. Note: if there are tentacles in your roll, it's best to beware.
Nolan takes a shot at glass blowing
The gentleman told Nolan that the double line he got was "unusual". This will be a pretty cup too.
The only bummer is that we couldn't bring these home. We'll have to go back on Friday.

Wow, that really is cool. I got to go to a glass factory in Hungary, but we could only stand by and watch.

I was surprised that they let little ones in around all the whirring machines, belts, hot ovens and melted glass...only two of us at a time...but wow. I don't know that you'd do this stateside....liability.
That is one field trip I would have really enjoyed!
FUN! We went to a glass blowing exhibit when we were in Williamsburg. We didn't get to make anything, but it was sure fun to see how the glass is made.
My kids did some things in Thailand that never would the US scared of lawsuits permit - riding on a water buffalo, harvest rice in a paddy
It WAS a great opportunity...and yes, Renee, I keep thinking the same thing...One thing our older kids said when they visited is "parks where a child could get hurt". LOL I mean zip lines, roller slides etc.
