Wow sounds cool... so is it more of a spectator/watching thing or a handson/learning thing?

PARTY! Open Studio, lots of glassy objects to check out, and a large open warehouse space to hang in.
Glassblowing demos in the hot shop...so, yes, spectator thing!
Very cool.. you can count me in.

Joe sounds like a blast and I would love to do this since the last open house you did was great. Too bad I will be out of town for the Mystery School.
Seriously people, if you have the chance to go, go!

Josh at the furnace. Standing behind that screen, it's barely tolerable.

A glass rollerskate at the gates of hell. Inside the furnace is about 2400 degF.

This fishbowl turns into...

... a platter, upon which pizza rolls (?) are placed to cook....
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2477/3630518618_6cd6829388_o.jpg)
... and the platter eventually breaks due to the thermal stress from cooling too fast.

Shiny baubles and trinkets available in the showroom.
