On The Friday Zone…

Gorgeous Glass

January 11, 2008

You probably drink juice, milk, or water from a drinking glass every single day, and don’t think twice about the functionality of glass. But have you ever stopped to think that glass can be beautiful as well as functional?

Join us on a Friday Zone Field Trip to the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis to see The Fireworks of Glass installation, artist Dale Chihuly’s largest permanent glass installation to date.

Take a closer look at how glassblowing is done at the Lawrence Family Glass Blowers in Nashville, Indiana. Twins Jim and John Lawrence will amaze and awe you with the beauty they create on a daily basis from molten glass.

Stained glass artist Tim Clougher visits The Zone and describes the step-by-step process he uses to create his decorative glass panels.

Sisters Katie and Amanda try their hand at completing a fun hands-on project. It’s all on the next Friday Zone!
