We Bend, We Break, We Are Beautiful

A few years ago, I hosted a birthday party at Third Degree Glass Factory.  With hors d’oeuvres in hand, we casually sidled up to the demonstration area.  I was jostled out of my reverie by the site of the largest, hottest, fire blazing oven I’d ever seen.  Amazed, we watched a master glassblower carefully insert his medium into the oven.
