    I thought it was interesting how silica is the base material used to make glass. I always knew that sand could be turned into glass but I never knew that it was actually a material that could be found in not only sand but also quartz and flint. I think it’s incredible that people learned how to blow glass and that today we have things like the glass blowing quartz apparatus which does it for us. The advances in technology truly make so many things possible for us.

    These are amazing! Looking forward to working with these with my ds. He became interested in glass blowing after visiting a workshop in NC and watching the artists work. Thank you!
