One Glassy Afternoon

February 12, 2011
Photo #119
JH and I were incredible productive this afternoon and it was wonderful. The surrounding areas outside Ithaca have some pretty unique and entertaining stuff to offer. Because I'm usually so busy with school and work I never really get to experience and enjoy them. But today was the perfect occasion to do some exploring and adventuring. So we found ourselves at the Corning Museum of Glass. After a relatively short drive we arrived at the sprawling establishment. We moseyed around the exhibits learning all about different types of glass, ways to make it, and the chemistry that causes the whole glass making process. We even got to see a hot glass blowing demonstration which was absolutely awesome. This photo is of a show piece that was on display in the museum. It's whimsical, creative, and so unique. All of the art that was on display throughout the museum was incredibly stunning. Maybe if my career in entertainment production doesn't work out I'll take up glass blowing.
