I have never tried it. Not sure I could stand the heat. I do love Dad&#39;s pieces! It cost him a lot, but he loved giving his pieces away. He would make a lot of candy dishes, then he would make a lot of vases, a couple of large wonky bowls, and even some fish! =)<br /><br />We have a glass museum here (in Tacoma). It is very interesting, and rotates exhibits. <br /><br />You can buy a

As part of my research I took glass blowing lessons. I wanted to speak to the process from first hand experience (much as I did with fencing lessons for my first book).

Jessica, I&#39;ve always been fascinated by glass blowers. How cool it must be to have someone in the family with that skill. Have you ever tried it?

Ooohh... Pretty cover, nice story, and I am from Seattle, where there is glass all over... Dad blows glass bowls too. =) Nothing like Murano I am sure.<br /><br />I love historicals, and am a little tired of London society historicals. <br /><br />This will be a nice change!
