National Glass Centre

The National Glass Centre in Sunderland.  The “Home of Pyrex”.

I’ve used photos from the exhibition and from the demonstration at the National Glass Centre quite a few times for photo challenges – I thought I add a bit of information this time.  The glass blowing demonstration is a truly wonderful and informative presentation.  Unfortunately, just a few weeks ago I heard that one of the presenters, the talented man on the right, has passed away.  So I want to add this photo as a tribute to his talent and skill.

Bleached, flaxen, pale – well, if he had shaved I might have used the pic for festive.

It was summer and somebody had cooled the beer so much that when it was opened and put down the liquid and foam rose up and froze to the shelve.  If that happens again, can I say: “Have an algid beer?”  😀

For Thursday’s Special – Pick A Word.  More angular, auricomous, festive, candescent, and algid pictures can be found here.
