I find wikipedia fascinating. So much information. It’s been a little while since we’ve visited wikipedia so I thought a bit of glass blowing information might be good. And they’ve got it. A lot of it. Good pictures and history and a ton of references. So if you want to learn more about glass blowing this is a good place to start. Plus it will give ou a bunch of places to go to find out more. And speaking of glass blowing I’ll be sending out an email to the winner of the glass blowing Masters book tomorrow. Thanks for all that sent me a comment. There will be more giveaways in the future.
