For my mom's birthday this year, instead of a gift, I went with an experience. A glass blowing experience.
It was interesting walking in and seeing the furnaces, tools, and a gift shop full of glass decor. A quick lesson from the instructors showing us the entire process, then it was our turn. Typically, classes have 10 people in them; however, the day/time we chose, it was only us. Perfect!
Picking our design and colors, we we learned how glass is made, colored, how to shape them, and we created our pieces above.
Lunch, glass blowing, and touring a local art shop made for a fun afternoon.
Happy birthday, Mom, we love you!
