What a gift - Glass Blowing with the WHOLE Family!

A special thanks to Rick Eggert for an absolutely incredible experience. This past holiday weekend the entire Materio clan took glass blowing lessons. Ranging in age from 18-60 we all had a blast. The class is geared towards teaching you the process and ensuring you end up with a beautiful finished product. We made bowls, paper weights...and some interesting abstract pieces! I would encourage everyone to take advantage of Rick's incredible teaching technique...and affordable class prices. Check out his work and contact him at www.rickeggert.com

....and now for some pics of us in action...thanks Mom and Dad for the amazing Christmas gift!!!!
