Glassblowing with Ryan Gothrup!

Mrs. Kluender and Mrs. Bradley's Art classes had the opportunity to take a "mini field trip"
 next door to Lee Davis High School for a glassblowing demonstration from artist-in-residence, Ryan Gothrup. 

What a great experience! Our students got to learn about glassblowing techniques like "gathering" glass from the crucible/furnace, using the blowpipe and marver table to shape the glass, stretching the glass to the width of a hair, and blowing a paper thin bubble!
