GLASS BLOWING IN SAN DIEGO

I had a very special treat while in San Diego: taking my first glass blowing lesson with John and Dan. Definitely a team effort.
The resulting vase was gorgeous, I couldn't believe it. Dan is the only person known to etch dichroic glass and affix it to the blown glass pieces. I call this the "Iris Piece"

Marty (owner of the awesome glass blowing studio) and a very happy Mary

Whew, I really had to blow hard to get that first little bubble of air in the molten glass.
Then into the "glory hole" for a "flash."
