Trip-Day 5- Pittsburgh Glass Art Studio

This was by far my favorite visit of our trip.  The whole setup of this studio, I felt was rich in city life, and culture. A tthis studio they have glassowing glasses and demonstrations, art shows and intense workshops bringing in artists and experts from around the world. There were 4 rooms in which you worked with glas in different ways.

The Flame room which was geared specifically towards smaller items such as beads. It housed about 9 or so stations with the same set up as the picture below.

Then there was the Hot room, where larger items that required the glass to blown were created. Which had the farmilar furnace, bench, jack and rods to blow the glass. 

The other two room wher the Warm room where cooled glass pieces were placed into or with other materials like metal or cement, to create items such as suncathers and stepping stones.  The last room was the Cold room where the glass was etched, filed down for create a flat surface or cut.
