Virtual Glass Blowing for Kids!

Are you curious about the art of glass blowing and how it's actually done?  Visit the Children's Museum of Indianapolis for a fun, interactive glass blowing experience for grades 3-5, inspired by master glass artist Dale Chihuly!  Then watch this 4 minute video of CBS Early Show news anchor, Erica Hill, as she gets a personal glass blowing lesson at Chihuly's Seattle studio.

    I have been lucky enough to experience two of Dale Chihuly's exhibits! I love doing a unit on glass blowing with my students!

    I love Chihuly too! The Indianapolis Children's Museum has a permanent 3 story high Chihuly sculpture that is fabulous along with hands on activities for the kids to understand his work.

    If you head over to The Crafty Crow blog, you'll find a faux glass art sculpture. http://www.thecraftycrow.net/2011/02/faux-stained-glass-sculpture.html
