Glass blowing demo and etching demo by Frank Rossbach and Nancy Philbrick on May 17th from 1pm to 4 or 5pm.

The Rossbachs have been blowing glass for over 300 years. Maybe he'll let you try it out! The "Hog in a Hog" is by Frank.
And Nancy Philbrick does not trace her designs, or use resist to create her etchings. She uses a dremel and many different bits to etch freehand!
