Sometimes you just need a day to enjoy for yourself

Doesn't matter where you go as long as you enjoy it!

You can watch the whole video if you want, but at 13 seconds when he pulls the blob out of the furnace and WHOOOSH it's suddenly a ghost?

Good stuff.

Corning Museum Instagram but their youtube has full demonstrations and livestreams.

Chris Rochelle Instagram has lots of neat things but mostly this ghost.

There are two signs to the left of the sculpture of the pitcher plant. The first and larger sign reads:

From the Hands of the Makers Over the course of fifty years, Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, father and son, continually experimented with materials and methods that pushed the boundaries of glassworking. After his father's death in 1895, Rudolf continued to refine glass formulations, experiment with pigments and varnishes, and create his own palette of colored glass enamels. He produced this Great Pitcher Plant, [italics] Nepenthes maxima [end italics] (right), the largest and most complicated model in the collection, using many of his innovative techniques.

The smaller plaque identifies the artwork and reads:

[italics] Nepenthes maxima [end italics] (Great Pitcher Plant) Indonesia, New Guinea & Philippines by Rudolf Blauschka, 1906

October 10th is World Sight Day! It is a day to raise awareness for blindness and vision impairment. Having the resources to afford eyeglasses or having access to an optician is actually quite new, considering eyeglasses (in some form) have been around since the 1300s.

Eyeglasses can not only correct vision but also provide protection as well. For today, Jared letterpress printed a halftone from the Brett from Pennsylvania Collection. This halftone depicts a 1950s workplace safety reminder. That reminder states, “2 good reasons for wearing EYE PROTECTION.” On each of the lenses of the safety glasses are a young boy and girl representing a worker’s children. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.
