Glass Blowing at Thanksgiving Point Art Institute

We were over at Thanksgiving Point last Saturday.  This activity is really fun if you have half a day and $25.00. You can make a glass blown flower for a bud vase in any color you want.  We enjoyed watching the glass experts teaching the students how it is done.  After hanging out at the Petting Zoo at Thanksgiving Point we walked over to the Glass Blower's Shop and Art Gallery and watched them making glass art.
I loved the blue vase in the middle.....It was only $100 bucks...So much better to make your own!
Marisa picked up this flower and wanted to go show it to her mom.....I just about peed my pants!
Grabbing it gently away from her as I felt my stomach full of butterflies....These things are so fragile! 

Beautiful Glass Blown Art everywhere...it's quite a sight! They have it lighted so beautifully.....
Caitlin and Devin at the Thanksgiving Point Glass Blower's Shop....
This trree had lights on the top and bottom glowing through the glass blown  tree disks....
That middle one looks kinda like a fried egg....LOL...
He was blowing up a ball of glass....very cool to watch...  
These beauties were all over $200 each....very striking in person!  I think these are just pure works of art.
