We went on a tour of a glass blowing company here in town. Ten minutes away. Never heard of it until the tour was set up.
We watched a demonstration of them making a really cool vase from beginning to end. How they add colors to the glass, how they blow the glass, how they get the glass off the big metal pole it is on while it is being worked, the cooling process, etc.
Then we all took turns making our own glass flowers.
Quiet possibly my favorite field work ever!!
I texted Lisa to tell her we HAVE to set this up for the Girl Scouts. And she said no. That we should set it up for us adults instead. Evidentally there are classes, community outreach programs, tours, all kinds of different activities available through these amazing people!!
