I got a Groupon for an intro to glass blowing class at Elements Glass in NW Portland. It was more of a hands on demo that lasted 45 minutes and resulted in my getting to take home a glass float that I “helped” make. A great, fun little outing that was the perfect amount of time for me since I rarely leave the house without Juniper.

Aaron Frenkel’s work. He’s the one that ran our demo/class. Love these.

Bee! Someone famous in the glass world who came to do a class. Can’t remember her name because I suck.
