Shopping For The Holidays?

Can’t find the perfect present? Who doesn’t love a handmade, one of a kind, gift?  Our Chicago members got a jump start on the holiday season at one of the coolest events yet, glass blowing!  We made our very own glass ornaments! Our two awesome instructors walked us through the delicate process.  We were each given a glob of melted glass at the end of a pipe, we rolled it in all sorts of different colors of broken glass, and then it was time to turn up the heat.  We had to keep our glass constantly rotating in a huge furnace to melt the colored glass shards evenly, turning our little blob into a rainbow of swirling colors.  When it was finished in heat, our instructors kept the pipe rolling as we blew with all our might to fill our colorful glass blob with air.  We pinched them off, and there you have it!  A beautiful, unique ornament, a perfect holiday gift for a loved one, or for yourself!  Glass blowing was definitely one of the most interesting and fun things the Chicago club has done yet! This event was on fire, literally! Events And Adventures Chicago
