Pittsburgh Glass Center — Attraction in Pittsburgh

Me and another attended the flower make it now session of Valentines day since they give a good deal to make Valentines related crafts that day. It was nice being able to make something. Since they don't supply gloves, I managed to get a burn, but good thing is they have after burn aloe there for use.

In a two hour class, we had to sit and wait for 90 minutes to have a turn to do 2-10 minute activities.The glassblowing process itself was interesting, but I would not recommend this class. They could have staggered the arrival times, had another activity to do while waiting, or had less people arrive at once. Instead they had everyone arrive in a huge group and then randomly picked people to go to one of the stations. Several people did both activities and went home before I was allowed to start one of...
