This is a short film about glassblowing at East Side Glass Studio during the East Side Studio Tour in Nov. 2012. The artist is making Christmas ornaments and invited audience members to participate in the process.
Remember those Christmas trees that are sprayed white with some type of foam that mimics snow? Super tacky, probably full of horrible chemicals, and in no way can they actually smell as good as unsprayed trees.
But I always, for some odd reason, begged my Dad to buy one. Of course, he never did. Thankfully. It probably had something to do with the fact that it doesn’t snow in the Bay Area where I grew up, and until I was about 10, the artificial snow on those defiled Douglas Firs was about the closest I ever got to a white Christmas.
Albino redwoods are a rare but welcome parasite.
