Alivia and I went to Glass Axis in Columbus for a class on glass blowing yesterday. We met our friends Leslie and Caroline there and boy was it interesting! They have to heat the glass to 2000 degrees in order to manipulate it into the shape they want. They put small shards of glass (almost like sanding sugar you use on sugar cookies) into the hot glass to make the different colors. The girls really enjoyed it and got to make a bracelet with two glass heart beads to take home. If anyone is ever interested in going to Glass Axis, it's located on Norton Avenue in Columbus (right off of Olentangy River Road) and they offer classes for children and adults all year round!
