4B at Atlanta Hot Glass
The 4b class and Ms. Ward enjoyed an exciting trip it Atlanta Hot Glass! They were so excited and ready to visit, after hearing about 4a's visit last week.
After that, we had a safety discussion and then learned about the equipment and tools within the work space.

Here, Gavin assists by slowly blowing into her hot glass. She rolls her pole back and forth, while her glass piece is cupped and rolled in wet wood. This helps to keep its shape.
We were also excited to use our new field trip bus!! (pictures of that to come later)
A very big thanks to Ms. Ward for driving us.
Upon arrival, we were first greeted by two instructors and they took us to the two galleries within their building.

Let the glass making begin!!!
Emma starts with rolling her hot glass into the colors of her choice.
Don't forget to add color to the tip!
