[Nfb-krafters-korner] Glass blowing crafts

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Our local glass wears shop teaches a class through the Community College.  I took it once.  I am not blind, but at least what we learned a blind person could do it.  You heat up the end of the glass and then blow through the other end to create your design.   I would think you could check everything out with your hands prior to turning on the fire.
