Glass Art

I visited the famous Corning Museum of Glass. In addition to teaching you about glass, the museum displays beautiful artwork made by contemporary artists using glass. 

Here are some of the amazing items on display.

    1. It's world-famous. Corning, the company, developed all kinds of glass products, like Pyrex and has a long history with glass. Their corporate headquarters is next door to the museum.

  2. That's amazing. I love the stripey spiral piece.

    Have you seen the show "Blown Away" on Netflix, Ally? It's a glass blowing competition show (without all the attendant Drama), and it's just incredible the pieces they make...and break!

    1. It was mentioned at the museum with some pieces from some of the show's contestants. I haven't seen it yet (but heard about it) and will check it out soon.
