Had a fantastic time glassblowing today-
Something I had wanted to do forever, and finally had the opportunity to do it! I did a 6-hour one-day workshop at Public Glass in SF. It was an intimate group of 3 students with one instructor. I actually blew bubbles into molten glass to make a tumbler and a papeweight! the activity was quite a bit more athletic than I had anticipated- lots of lifting hot glass on a stick (leverage!), working against gravity, walking quickly from one work station to another, and standing close to furnaces burning at thousands of degrees.
