I am fascinated by glass making and glass blowing, taking simple ingredients and lots and lots of heat to make something stable and beautiful. Glassmaking at Jamestown Virginia dates back to 1608. I visited the glassworks in the 1970's with my grandmother, I was delighted to see that the glassworks had expanded and was still in operation.
Glass making and blowing is so unique. I enjoyed when I visited my cousin years ago in Chattanooga, a colorful town. They had a great glassblower artist who had a shop there. I had a small bud vase blown with colors I liked. I'll always treasure that vase and remember that trip.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, New Hope has a great glass artist too and shop.
