I had the chance to go to another glassblowing workshop (like the one you can read about HERE), and it was equally kickass, made only more awesome by the fact that the entire group of people in the class were people I know, there whether they thought that they wanted to be or not.  I’m controlling like that sometimes.  And I’m telling you, youwantto go try glassblowing, given the opportunity.

If you’re in the GTA and interested, check out Playing With Fire - Minna puts on a variety of workshops, and the two I’ve gone to have left me feeling both more artistically talented than I am, and thoroughly impressed with actual glass-working artists.  And terrified, but the rush of adrenaline at finding myself with moltent glass on a stick in my hands is evenly balanced with the safety in which the classes are conducted.  If you’re not in the GTA… well… that’s what Google is for!

The last ones are mine!  A little bit lumpy, not terribly flower shaped, buuuut… beautiful to me.  Some of the most distinclty flower shaped ones are done by my friends whose first try at glassblowing was flower-making.
