My lack of posting is due to the fact that I am visiting family in Minneapolis, and have been away from home since last Monday. Checkin out some sweet glassblowing though at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival...
The glasswork there beats the pants off the glasswork at my local Renaissance Festival - there were at least six different booths that sold just glasswork, (tons more if you count the jewelry that incorporates glass and the mosaic and stained glass work) three of which did live demonstrations where they actually made cool stuff instead of dumb bottles or simple cups and vases. I saw a heating technique I'd never seen before or even thought of, where a guy that was making a goblet rotated the object on the blowpipe parallel to the glory hole so that the top of the object got heat but the hot bottom cooled off a bit, to even out the heat.
It seems like there are definitely some options out here for pursuing glass. I took some cards...
