Glass Blowing Demo

Hi All,

Our tickets to the Chihuly exhibit include a glass blowing demonstration in a "Hot Shop" across the street. At first we thought it must be intimidating blowing glass across from Chihuly but this guy was very talented.

Starting with a blob of molted glass.


he added two different colors 

rolled it out

blew it into a globe shape

Opened the top and added a lip

Spun it into a flat disc that then sagged to form the flower shape

and finally showed off the final result.
It took over 35 minutes start to finish.

Really impressive.

Love,
