This is so interesting!! I was always curious about glass blowing but when I was younger a friend of mine who could afford the swanky art schools explained that one of his professors had an accident blowing glass which resulted in him putting his out eye out with molten glass. Scared the bejeezus out of me so I never ventured to even try. That and my middle name is clumsy, lol. Thank your for sharing your experience and perspective, I really enjoyed reading it!
