As a kid, my family and I always watched
glass blowing demos at living history museums, Cedar Point, etc. when they crossed our path. I always wanted to learn how to blow glass and put it on my Bucket List but the thing is I’m not sure what I’d
do with the thing after I made it. (I am including some affiliate links in this post for your convenience.)
I appreciate glass artistry and would dearly love to buy, use, or display hand blown glass creations but condo living isn’t the most spacious when it comes to displaying doo dads (all of our art collection hangs on walls.) Not to mention, I’m not a fussy doo dad displaying kind of girl except in September when my
pumpkin decorations dot the house inside and out.
I like to decorate with pumpkins because you can start displaying them in September for fall harvest, to Halloween and right on through to Thanksgiving at the end of November. So it makes sense that I am obsessed with browsing
handcrafted glass pumpkins at glass blowing shops. That’s when it hit me.
Blow a glass pumpkin and display it for Thanksgiving?
That I can do.
I decided that Today is SOMEDAY and I’m going to learn how to blow glass!
Keep reading to learn about the process and to see what I made!
