Glassblowing Is Harder Than It Looks

For my birthday this year, Dixie bought me an introductory glassblowing class at Third Degree Glass Factory. It was beastly hot, but it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. Our instructors, Mike Hayes and Ben Klein are very talented and were willing to help all of us newbies learn the basics and create a souvenir. You can see the slightly wobbly shot glass I made. If you live in the St. Louis area and are looking for a unique experience, I highly recommend the six hour intensive class. But you might consider signing up for it in the winter instead of August!
