Glass Blowing at the Bay Area Glass Institute

We stopped by the Bay Area Glass Institute in San Jose for a demonstration on glass blowing by Treg Silkwood, senior instructor at the non-profit school. Check out our new issue on streets May 11 for more on BAGI. For now, here's Silkwood creating a stunning conch shell from molten glass. The first video is him preparing, shaping and coloring the glass. The second video shows the more detailed part.
