glass blowers
Molten sand artists
Glass blowers are artisans who shape molten glass by blowing air through a long tube, inflating the glass into vessels, ornaments, and other forms.
The craft requires precise timing and breath control while the glass remains workable.
The glass blowers demonstrated their technique at the county fair.
