Chicago Hot Glass

Last weekend the Chicago Center for Glass Arts (http://www.chicagohotglass.com) invited glass artists throughout Chicago to join them for the Chicago Hot Glass Throwdown. People from first time glass art spectators to children urged by their parents, watched in awe as the artists created unique pieces. Besides watching experienced artists compete, adults had a chance to try glass blowing by creating an ornament. It was a perfect way to get an introduction to the art.
