Glass 6/30/2016

It had been at least 20 years since we had visited the Corning Glass Museum, so we had little idea how much the museum had grown and changed over the years. What a delight. I am always amazed that there are people who can not only conceive of beautiful things but can make them come to life! The museum had everything from a glass sculpture of a dress hanging as if on a human form--so realistic--to gorgeous abstract objects like the cube made of shards of glass.

While at the museum, we had the opportunity to see how glass art is made in various forms. We saw blown glass, and fire fused glass forms. And we were treated to a demonstration by a master glass artist who created a fantastic layered color glass vase. See some of this for yourself here: https://goo.gl/photos/42eZyjh9kdPh1FVz8  Check out the photo descriptions to explain the photos.

One of the benefits to RV "camping" is that we get to meet lots of people along the way. This evening we met a couple from the Westchester NY area that was heading out west to Idaho with their family--in a 45 foot bus towing a car. Makes our little 28 footer look petite... We also met a delightful guy from LA who was headed home with his wife after a 2 week trip up to New England.

Tomorrow we head to the Rochester area to attend Grayson's christening.
