Now I am waiting on some eyepopping glas works.
ReplyDeleteJust click on the NovaScotian Crystal link and you will see some eye popping.
DeleteI like those old handcrafts, I saw this some time ago and it is amazing to see how something is shaped.
ReplyDeleteI'd be dangerous working in a place like this. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlassblowing has always fascinated me. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteIts quite a rare place...didn't know that they still made it that way in US! Nice pic...
ReplyDeleteTo me it's almost magical to see a glass object being created this way.
ReplyDeleteGreat title for your image. Fun to watch the artists at work, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoy watching craftspeople blow glass!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing thing to watch.
ReplyDeleteThat is hot work, Andy!
ReplyDeleteI'd be fascinated to watch them at work!
ReplyDeleteNice to see this skill being carried on!
ReplyDeleteThey blow glass at the Tacoma Museum of Glass (Washington, USA) but it's not a commercial venture like this. Glass is an amazing material!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the same town where Blenko Glass Co. is located (still there today) and I used to love to watch them blowing the glass into various objects! Truly an art form!
ReplyDeleteThey blow glass at the Art University I was at with hubby last Sept In Haliburton, Ontario. This is a real nice photo you took Andy like all pictures you enter.
