Wow, Bill. Very nice. Thanks for reminding me how much I love art glass. Too bad Cornell/Corning/Ithica is so hard to get to. I would go.

....without being burned as a witch.

I lived my first 12 years in the Buffalo, NY area and remember going to the Glassworks a few times, in Boy Scouts, and on fieldtrips, etc. To this day I still marvel at beautiful works of glass-art. Those are terrific Bill. They offer a glass blowing class at the local university, but it's expensive, takes a lot of time and dedication and requires actual creative ability. So, let's see.....I'm 0-4 on that one! :p

I still love cut glassware, the odd shaped massive ashtray, prisms, vases.....most anything big, heavy, and made of pure, clear sand!

work... very cool art form.. Here's one of his pieces that just sold a couple of weeks ago at the auction to raise money for the pilchuck glass school in Seattle.. This one sold for 16k and brought a lot more than the opening price for it.http://www.pilchuck.com/events/auction_catalog/live_section/images/63.jpg
