Colorful glass has always fascinated me – drawn in by the shapes, the bright colors and the way that the light changes the piece. I have yet to take a glassblowing class maybe in fear of being clumsy around hot glass, pokers, etc. (I wonder what the insurance liability waiver looks like for that class?) …
