Glass blowing
Visiting Langham Glass factory for the afternoon.
Kids didn't get to keep their blown glass but both said it was a bit harder then they imagine it to be.

We did glass blowing once, but Gohan was not allowed to make anything as large as your kids did. He did get to pick out several colors of glass though, so I guess that is something. Glass work is very popular here, since Dale Chihuly is from here.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cool!!! We have seen him but never got to participate....what a great experience!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so awesome. What a fun subject to learn about. I have also watched someone doing this. It is amazing how different items are made. I must marvel at these kinds of inventions. How just can believe how someone comes up with the methods.
ReplyDeleteLoved this one!
