It was very informal and laid back and the two young artists were more than happy to explain the whole process. Their ovens were over 2000 degrees and the cooling oven was 900 degrees. We watched as he started and put on colors in a clear and then white glass.
He was making a vase for his own wedding centerpiece. The owner and his son also are involved with teaching several classes at the Community College here.
After watching, I had to browse the gallery and found a vase that will remind me of the time, besides, I really like fresh flowers and this is a good excuse to keep them! We walked several blocks and looked at things in their sidewalk sales, and had lunch at the Pizza Ranch. Time just seems to fly by, and we headed back to the home spot to drop off the Frau and rest a bit before heading up the highway the other direction. We stopped at Smith's Monaco Dealership and looked at some 2009 Monaco Coaches that were for sale. Just looking! Bought a few things that I've wanted from Camping World. They had a good variety of supplies. They had a free concert - dance at the Rooftop Ballroom this evening, and it was lots of fun! There were 4 bands, one young band with High School Seniors, and the others were older men. It was over at 8:30 and that's about my speed! Doesn't mess with the bedtime that way. Lots of people danced and they even had a Dance Contest.
The last band, Galaxy, was the best and they played a lot of the oldies. As we walked out of there, we had a mini car show waiting right on the street outside the door! Several antique cars are getting ready for the show in the park on Saturday.
I imagine we'll take that one in too..... but tomorrow I will do some cooking in the morning and we may take that boat ride in the afternoon. So much to see and do......so little time. I have a feeling I'm not going to want to leave on Monday!
