I saw glass blowing being done up close when I was in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. It was so interesting to watch! It was at a smallish factory there. I know they offered day classes and you could make your own stuff to take home. Unfortunately, though, we were on vacation, so that wasn't really possible.

The only downside is that I'm super clumsy, so I'm afraid I'd burn myself or something. lol. But it's a good idea. My mom and dad have wanted to try it out ever since we went to the factory. I suppose I could treat them to a day at a glass blowing place, if there are any here in Boston or in the Boston area.
