Over Thanksgiving break, we went on our annual trip to Northern California (well, we go to Northern California a lot more than once a year, but we have done it the past three Thanksgivings…). It was a nonstop fun filled weekend, not just with food, but with tons of activities. Hands down, one of the highlights was glass blowing. I mean, what is more fun than creating a holiday ornament! A BIG shout out to our hosts (sister from another mister) for organizing every single activity and finding all these fun experiences for us to do together — love doing life (and / or glass blowing) together.
It was a drive from where we were staying — but well worth it. Located on Mare Island, it is a random studio, but has everything you need to blow glass!
Harder (and hotter) thank you think!
Tusia’s turn!
First, you had to pick your colors. This was Cruzzie’s — look how beautiful the red and whites are!
A lot of lung power!
Ken’s final product — he went with green and orange colors (the colors of Cruzzie’s school) — they did not mesh well but ended up in a super cool texture.
Tusia went with pinks and purples, obviously.
Final product!
They go through this machine to dry and cool for 40 minutes and then POP out.
It was a two hour class and super fun. If you are in the Bay Area, highly recommend it! Once we get our Christmas Tree, I will put all four of our glass decorations (and post a picture to the blog, of course!) If you have any other fun class recommendations to share, please let me know. I always love learning new skills and discovering new interests!
