in≈ Comments Off on Glass With Class
Lori, Marie (neighbor friend), and I took a one-day introductory class in glass blowing at Corning Museum of Glass recently. It was a blast. We each created several pieces designed to introduce us to the fundamentals. I can confidently say that none will be classified as art or serve any useful functional purpose. There were no severe burns and our instructor, Ross, was a patient and skilled (and entertaining) instructor. The best thing we developed in class was an increased appreciation for the gaffers (master glass blowers) who make it look so easy to create spectacular pieces.

A young buck paused amidst the similarly-colored goldenrod making him difficult to spot unless he was moving.
Can you spot him? He blended in quite well as he slowly passed through our field of past-prime goldenrod.
Update Nov. 17: Our buck has returned and is less shy than during his initial visit. Now he feeds contentedly in our yard.
